yall, this dude tried signing up to my instance a few nights ago. yall wanna see why many communities have registration approvals? see below. warning for nsfw language
Still laughing at the vast amount of people coming from reddit and expecting only chill people to be on lemmy. Like lemmy users are somehow immune to toxicity.
It’s less toxic overall but we (or mostly the moderators) will have to fight them all the time.
At least it will improve the moderation tools which is always a good thing.
When I realized it was that dude who tried signing up to my instance I lost my shit laughing, if he was screened prior it’s obvious he wouldn’t have gotten in. This is precisely what happens when you focus on growth over organically cultivating a healthy community.
If that is true in any way whatsoever, that is a completely moronic long term goal. Lemmy devs themselves have encouraged instances who do such a thing to defederate. I don’t see how realistically advertising or monetization would be done not only without immense privacy concerns that would likely affect the rest of the fediverse but without major protests and mass defederation. The backlash against it would be immense, not just on lemmy but across the fediverse itself.

Fuck I love the “ok” as deny reason…so simple, so beautiful.
👍
Unfortunately, the deny reason(s) aren’t sent to the applicant and aren’t visible to anyone except admins.
I wish they were visible to others or had an admin option to add it the modlog cause people write some funny shit in there 😭

I have no proof but I think lemmy.world will be monetized at some point.

Those that even remotely consider scraping data on Mastodon consistently face intense harassment and criticism.

Lemmy is like every social medium since the dawn of time: a cross-section of humanity… the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Are we going to find Ollie North’s gold?

The hell.
I mean if dude wanted to troll he succeeded really well ngl
yeah he caused huge arguments in the biggest instance, the guy is talented.
Too bad that “talent” is being a huge asshole and getting the biggest reactions possible, instead of something useful.
Registration approval should be on by default…
this world is not ready for two based gabes existing at the same time
What if we got a bunch of Josh’s to fight?
