    Depends on the instance, as far as I know. Some require a short written intro, some require email verification, some let you sign up without even an email.

              Very true. But they could defederate that too. I have tried to set up an instance of Lemmy andkbin and it’s not the easiest.

              One user mentioned that they racked up 2 gb of data in 2 minutes of use. I’d imagine the overhead for maintaining an instance is huge over time

                All Lemmy instances would have to defederate from the troll instance to truly contain it, no? As for overhead, some trolls rove in packs. But still you do make a good point for the lone troll 👍
