@ptz@dubvee.org I have cleaned these and some other bot accounts from my instance. I was ok to open registrations to this point because we were able to get reports for almost every activity and we could easily manage them. But unfortunately Lemmy does not have a regulatory mechanism for votes, so I’ll keep it manual approval until then.
Also it looks like they’re manually creating accounts since we had captcha + email approval in our instance from the beginning. So this means that even with manual approvals, a botnet can be created – just in a delayed manner.
Alright. I’ll check this ASAP.
You’re right, that’s worse.
Does the receiver instance federate that like object to other instances? If not, it is shit for sure.
About $50 monthly for server, backups, image hosting, mails etc.
Yes, almost almost all of us have more than one account, but not everyone uses more than one account at the same time. I think these numbers are correct. There should be a margin of deviation of at most 10%.
More realistic than mainstream social media platforms. On Lemmy, the number of active users is measured by posts, comments and votes.
Good to hear you’re ok buddy 🙏

Who will keep the money? Who will calculate what users will have to pay? Who will verify that the money is being used for the purpose it was paid for? How will bringing crypto payments to fediverse increase users, considering that 99% of people have never used crypto before? What will happen to the data of users who decide not to pay anymore? Let’s assume that all instances offer paid membership; wouldn’t monopoly occur if a corporate/suspicious instance offers completely free membership? Wouldn’t offering paid memberships hold instance admins legally liable?
Who will leave the mainstream platforms that are completely free and have many more users, and then pay and use a platform that is 1 in 100,000 times the size?
Even though I received a donation of about $10 for 1 year, I think the current system should continue. If money is involved in something, it would be abused.
