See the above edit.
I agree, this is stupid. Why should we settle for a server where the admin won’t even apply updates on time or fix bugs in a timely manner. Let alone moderate their instance properly.
I barely even use this instance and I’m really only here for !sdfmc@lemmy.sdf.org, I couldn’t imagine how much it would suck if this was my only account or only instance to access Lemmy from.
Edit: Glad to see they’ve been banned. Though it honestly doesn’t really change much in my opinion if something doesn’t seriously change when it comes to the instance management.
We need sign up barriers at the least. As well as community creation barriers. I’m at the point where I’m willing to be the one to be rude on Mastodon.
One idea I had would be that they could require accounts to have SDF emails, that would basically require people to have Validated TTY accounts, I believe social.sdf.org does this. They could also accomplish the same thing by closing registration completely and having it be solely managed via the Maint command in the TTY shell.
Yes, a validated TTY account is required for social.sdf.org
