  • There are almost 1000 lemmy instances already. Getting individuals to fix their signup settings so that they mandate CAPTCHA likely will have to be driven from the lemmy product update level and an agreed upon defederation list for non-conformant instances.

    And bot farms would be able to spin up new instances themselves, so being able to do a blacklist based federation model (federate with all by default except x, y, and z) isn’t going to be viable. There’s going to have to be a whitelist (federate only with a, b, and c) and maintaining that as new instances get added will be problematic without an overarching way of pushing updates of known “good” instances automatically.


  • Kinda crazy that one of the biggest lemmy instances out there is just rolling with a releases candidate. That said…the issues that 0.18.0 is supposed to address are substantial so getting it rolled out ASAP is a priority and we’re still in the phase where if it breaks something, people are pretty okay with it.

    Do we have a timeline on the 0.18.0 full drop?
