So, lemmy seems to be flooded with spam bot accounts at the moment. Look through the table of servers on fedidb (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy) and notice how there are these huge instances without any active users (MAU).

Also notice how startrek.website has 9000 users for 276 active users this month.

From memory, when I signed up, there was no email requirement or captcha or anything.

Admins … maybe you want to tighten things up?

    I think the tone of your other post and the call to essentially brigade GitHub and demand changes from the devs put a lot of other instances admins in an uneasy position. You also said that instance admins were “abdicating their responsibility” to demand things of the devs.

    Isn’t jumping ship to kbin abdicating your responsibility to stay on and help grow Lemmy…?

    To be fair I have no ill will with you, but that post stunk of open source entitlement. https://tommcfarlin.com/open-source-entitlements-users/
