      Would love a feature to filter or flag based on account age on a platform.

      I don’t like the idea of making people verify their ID to use a platform, but I do like the idea of being able to see how long an account is around for, and to potentially filter based on that.

      Facebook was best when it was only the students with .edus. Just chilling based on social status or are groups.

        The problem is. They’ll do like they did on Reddit and people will make fuck-tons of bot accounts and just let them sit for a few years. Them they sell them.

        Notice how the bot accounts are either a few years old with no posts/comments, or they’re brand new.

        Yeah. It is. I’m not sure why you bothered to say it to be honest.

          Because there’s no reason to downvote it unless you’re a teenager. Or a billionaire. More likely it’s teenagers downvoting it.
