If something like this were to gain lots of traction I'd hope it would be something not too difficult to implement by smaller new sites. What really sucks is the situation with email now: it's really tricky to get stuff delivered if you're not Google/Microsoft. The barrier to entry is way, way too high :(

    I joined fediseer with this lemmy instance. I don’t know what’s going to happen with your self-built software, but getting a guarantee is easy, if your instance looks credible. I’m not aware of anyone that uses it as a filter at this point either.

    Anyway, this is an awesome project. If you keep working on it and need a fediseer guarantor for the site, I’m happy to do that.

    See their lemmy community: lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/fediseer

      Oh wow awesome. Thanks so much! It needs a bit more fleshing out, removing a bit of hardcoding too. And of course I want to publishit under an open source licence too. Thanks for the tip - I've written it down in the growing TODO file! :)

  But if you can keep spamming our (heh) a new site for like 99c a domain name, you could do this a lot despite getting banned.

  I mean you already could do that with something like ActivityPub proxy or just change your instance domain every time. Thing is even though people can, it’s not that likely they will or if they do, that they’ll keep it up for long.
