I like this, it is deep without trying too hard.

I don’t get it

Yea this has really big astroturfing vibes.

I’m surprised by the amount of people in this thread having trouble taking pills. It’s not really something I’ve ever thought about or heard other people struggle with but hey there it is

I guess I thought there was more to it than that. Just doesn’t seem that funny to me? 😅

I don’t get it

Can you still read it if the drive is encrypted, if you have the key?

You’re welcome m8, have a nice day

You’re misunderstanding me again. Please try reading what I said again.

I’m not suggesting allowlist federation, though that is another tactic that could be used. I’m just saying that a spammer on the fediverse would be quickly defederated and would have to buy a new domain to keep spamming, which would probably be too expensive to justify.

No, my point is that if spammers were to spam on the fediverse, they’d need to buy new domains constantly as their previous domains are defederated, I’m not talking about email.

Nono, I’m saying it costs to spam because spammers have to keep buying new domains as their previous domains get blocked or defederated.

Hmm I feel like some pooling of effort with spam detection built into the software (lemmy for instance) could help spread the effort of spam fighting to other, smaller instances and not just centralised to the big ones.

But it’s difficult to say what will happen I guess. We need to just keep being vigilant when it comes to stopping spam while keeping in mind our shared goal of a decentralised social Internet.

Replying to your edit:

it doesn’t solve spammers abusing good instances

This is an instance moderation problem. If you’re letting spammers in, you need to use a better application process or something similar to that. A big problem with email spam is that most email services allow anyone to sign up for free without any checks.

Ultimately defederating bad actors and defederating “good” actors who fail to moderate their own users is necessary.

I’m not sure what you mean with that or how it relates to what I said, could you elaborate?

Is it though? Don’t email spammers just spoof the domain or send without a domain? I’m not entirely sure if that’s different from how the fediverse works. I’m not too knowledgeable about this topic.

Defederating bad actors/spammers should in theory be good enough? Domains aren’t free and I don’t think it’s worth it for them to buy a new domain to just be able to spam for a short time again.

Now that’s a website

A bit sad that this is still relevant 12 years later.

A little weird?

Wait, what are the credits for? You spend them to watch porn or what? So when you’re out of credits you’re locked out? Sorry but… wtf?
