A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

What I'm concerned about is if the large instances move from a blocklist model (like they have now) to instead use an allowlist model, where only explicitly approved instances are allowed to federate with them.
That's true, that's a good point. Well I guess the only thing you can do is hope that doesn't happen lol
Setting up a Lemmy instance isn't the easiest thing, and automating it is even more challenging, so I don't necessarily think it's the kind of thing that can be done so easily. It's like 100x harder than creating a new account so I feel like It's not something that would be abused as much as like creating new accounts would be. I think it'll probably be fine.
