Please. Captcha by default. Email domain filters. Auto-block federation from servers that don’t respect. By default. Urgent.
And yes, to refute some comments, this publication is being upvoted by bots. A single computer was needed, not “thousands of dollars” spent.
Btw, what’s the deal with your instance? I noticed you’re from one of the original servers from 4 years ago. Do you know why it was founded or can you direct me to some information?
I’m from the reddit migration, although a bit more experienced than most (having been here over 2 weeks makes me a unicorn on my server).
I’d like to spread some more knowledge among my fellow newbies about the history of the platform and what kind of different servers are out there. Problem is, I don’t have any knowledge! Help!

Ah, I see. So tchncs.de hosts other federated platforms, and someone probably decided to set up a Lemmy site when it was originally created 4 years ago. But it was likely pretty empty until the past couple weeks.
Ok good to know, I don’t really know about XMPP/Jabber but I like what I see on wikipedia. Thanks!

I see. Lemmy is my first introduction to a decentralized, open source social media platform, and I’m just so excited about all the possibilities federation can provide.
