I agree, this is stupid. Why should we settle for a server where the admin won’t even apply updates on time or fix bugs in a timely manner. Let alone moderate their instance properly.

We need sign up barriers at the least. As well as community creation barriers.

One idea I had would be that they could require accounts to have SDF emails, that would basically require people to have Validated TTY accounts, I believe social.sdf.org does this. They could also accomplish the same thing by closing registration completely and having it be solely managed via the Maint command in the TTY shell.

Yes, a validated TTY account is required for social.sdf.org

You’re right. I think that Lemmy was, at most, an afterthought. We’ve had to wake up the admins to the fact that there is a substantial number of people here and that their easy sign up policies here can easily be abused.

This is a brilliant idea. It keeps the instance to the people that use the service as well as weeds out trolls. I’m not sure how feasible it is, but if anyone can, I’m sure that people that have kept a system alive since 1987 can.
