First part of the process is making an email. Seems simple enough EXCEPT all major free email addresses require you to setup a secondary email to verify your primary email and if you don't, chances are you can't use this email to verify your account for account creations.
This is obviously done in hopes that you link an email that is linked to you in your verification step. This has nothing to do to ensure protection or get rid of automated accounts because it's easy for automation to do this secondary step.
So, you're forced to create two new emails from two different email providers and cross-link them.
Once that's done, you've got to setup your X account which is a nightmare in itself because their new "confirm you aren't a bot" thing is garbage with 10 questions you have to answer. It took me two tries to get it but since I took so long, it didn't properly load when I got it and I was forced to do it two more times to get it. That's answer 40 questions to prove you aren't a robot.
The irony is my X account got banned for being a bot even though I've never used a botting program ever and I don't even use AI to post.
If the site's tech stack were more refined, I'd say to use automated moderation. Nothing as intensive or invasive as reddit, but hook up one of those image classification models trained to detect CP to the new post generation pipeline, and maybe a small, very cheap language model, and use that to blackhole spammers' messages (maybe reporting their IPs to LE, for all the good that does).
Just report everyone and every post to LE and let them do their jobs.
