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.
Is it possible to require an authentication app or something to make an account? Require a specific score on a flash game like snake? Or is that stupid? I don't know, I'm not a dev ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Auto-block federation from servers that don't respect.
NO! Do NOT defederate due to how an instance chooses to operate internally. It is not your concern. You should only defederate if this instance causes you repeated trouble offenses. Do not issue pre-emprive blanket blocks.
Agree! Defederation is a nuclear option. The more we do it, the more we reduce the value of "the fediverse", and the more likely we are to kill this whole project.
I think defederation should only be a consideration if an instance is consistently, frequently becoming a problem for your instance over a large period of time. It's not a pre-emptive action.
^this
