It can be on instances with lots of users and open signups.

Donate to the Lemmy project, but also look at donating to your instance / instance admin. It ain't free to host and operate this stuff.
Isn’t it only if you have something configured in display name?
Politically speaking, the lemmy/fediverse would make a great PolySci thesus. There is no practical universal governance other than sharing the ActivityPub protocol. It is an interesting experiment in how humans behave. Each instance is like a country.
We should charge for API use now. :)
I think the exception is companies “too big to die.” They serve as the archangels of tech so ALL other goals lead to being bought by FAANG or dying.
Came here to post! Beat me to it.
I think it's geography based. Works for me from the west coast (usa) but not the east. :(
Only found out because coincidentally DEVOPS IS GITHUB. So yea, I guess add another non-critical thing to the playbook.
I've been saying this for a few days now, but alas! Downvoted, scoffed. I just don't get it. I am not advocating for anything other than true decentralization, which is broken in more than one way with the lemmyverse. Defederation is not even the issue. No, I don't want nazi communities. No, I don't have anything against admins. I just want to see the system work as it's touted to work. People are so protective of their communities, and rightfully so, but we need to think hard about the differences between moderation and exclusion. One can foster a safe community, the other will just isolate.
100%. Work together on stability, resilience and privacy while ignoring trolls? Hell no! Let’s focus on creating silos and sniffing our own farts first!
Uh. That’s only part of the story. Bots can get through basically all verification. The defederation is more political than it is about spam bots.
IMO, likes need to be handled with supreme prejudice by the Lemmy software. A lot of thought needs to go into this. There are so many cases where the software could reject a likely fake like that would have near zero chance of rejecting valid likes. Putting this policing on instance admins is a recipe for failure.
