Comment on It may be prudent to restrict new registrations or require admin approval on new accounts

I agree, they should freeze registration until they can get more people to volunteer to manage it, that is updates, maintenance, and especially moderation. I’ve never done maintenance or updates on a Lemmy server and I wouldn’t trust myself with something so dangerous, but I have done moderation and I would be happy to volunteer to help out in any way I could.
Another thing that could help is to make the instance SDF member only, by requiring the use of SDF email, or having your account be managed by the maint command in the Shell login.

I do like the member only idea. At least it’ll require that spammers donate before causing trouble and getting banned.

Seconded. There are other free instances they can use. And SDF already paywalls some services.

It’ll also help with trolls for the same reason. It requires a level of dedication to join that most people won’t have.
