  • We have a bigger problem and it’s popularity. Some instances will want to become as big as possible, for resell value.

    So they will be encouraged to let the maximum of people registering a new account, including bots and spammers. Because they make the numbers and they start the snowball effect.

    Didn’t you all looked a the most populated instances/magazine when you registered magz, and you didn’t care about the mags with zero activity? Well, you are encouraging the process in a way.

    People will be reluctant to defederate or to ban popular magazines from other subs. So the float of spammers is unlikely to stop, because the person who makes the decision, the admin of the instance, will welcome them. And you won’t ban the instance or the mag.

    We have to become more like a club.






  • And now the emotional argument…

    Why is it so hard for some people to admit that some precaution is required when we are dealing with predators like Facebook?

    Let’s focus on what we have instead of spending our time and money on federating a monster with 100 millions accounts.

    We don’t want to become a threads client. Our development must be independent of Facebook. It won’t be independent anymore if 95% of the content is coming from Facebook. We need time to digest more users and now is absolutely not the time to federate such a big thing as 100 million users.

    Get real. If people want threads then let them install threads. Nothing wrong with that.

    And please stop with the “friends” thing
    We get it: your friends are on Facebook. We are building something different. That’s all.
