Can I filter X-Day old accounts as they're likely bots or trolls?

Pretty much the title: I see multiple posts on 3-day old accounts, all promoting disinfo for the RUS, ISR, CHI or some weirdo faction thereof. CanI set a filter on my account to ignore these prolific bastards until they have attained certain age or number of responses that exceed the AI 's smarmy word count?

I could see that being a feature on some kind of Lemmy mobile client. Voyager for example shows how old an account is if it's under a certain age. I think it might be a month. Maybe any post or comments that display this could be filtered from your feed.

Not sure though. I really don't know how additional features like that idea I just mentioned are typically added to the desktop experience of an instance.

Omg is that why I keep seeing comments with baby faces and a timer next to the username?

(I rotate through multiple iOS apps, as they all have major downsides, this week I’m on voyager)

If 3PAs started doing that, the Lemmy devs would probably consider that "censorship" and remove the account age from the API calls. 🙄

Why would they go in that direction when they've been working towards better moderation tools?
