I'm also working on a radical approach to federation, @pixelfed admins will soon have a game changing approach to manage federation. Imagine being able to filter federated activities from outdated instances that have open registration enabled, with a single tap. Forget importing blocklists, we're making it more simple and easier to manage federation. Pixelfed makes moderation easy ✨ #pixelfed #federation

I think this is something Lemmy should also consider. Open registration is an invitation to abuse an instance as a spam vector.

    You think every instance should require an admin individually approve every account?

    This will not help adoption at all.

      Manual approval isn’t the only alternative to Open Registration - the main one involves requiring an email address, and/or solving a captcha
