Ban and purge.
How? I feel like it might be too easy for such accounts to be created. And they already pollute the fediverse before their accounts get banned. I think this will be more common until we have more proactive measures.
Depending on implementation, the ban may also purge past posts so the "already pollute the fediverse" won't be that big of a problem.
Can't get too proactive beyond suggesting admins implement captchas and the like. Email verification. And that won't stop all.
I don't see this being much different than what occurred on reddit.
Mutli-Accounting/Creating mass-accounts for spam-reasons has been super easy on all platforms so far. What do you reckon "more proactive measures" to be?
