Better to semi restrict sign ups so the experience is improved for everyone. When those security issues have been fixed we can open up again. Seems fair
As long as users from allied instances can still post it is all good.
Lemmy.world users were mostly upset 2 months ago about how other Lemmy servers had application based registration and that made it bad for widespread adoption.
Incidents like this are part of why this is a bad idea. Hopefully mitigations to maliciously posted illegal content can be implemented to help Lemmy server admins big and small.
IMO registration applications should have been in use right from the start. Less annoyances for admins and moderators.
I wouldn't put the manual review of thousands of application into the "less annoyances" box.
Oh shut up
Bummer, but I hope you can find a solution soon! What a PITA for you all.
Very understandable, keep up the work!
Thank you so much for doing what it takes to control bots. Much appreciated!
Thank you!
Sounds like a plan! It's a 100% beneficial thing, it should clean it up a bit.
