Either we need to require members to use SDF emails to sign up or manage their Lemmy account login from the Maint console. Either way we need to limit it to Members of SDF who validated their accounts or shit like what’s been happening will continue to happen.
I know that it would make this place less open for people but I think this would go a long way towards making the community more secure against these kinds of attacks.
One possible compromise would be that if we wanted a more open Lemmy instance, to create another one without Member restrictions on a different SDF domain i.e. freeshell.org. Though personally I’m not a fan of that idea at all since unmanned instances tend to gather spam or become derelict. It’s much better to just have member-only instances and to encourage people to become SDF members with the $1 or €5 charge for validation.
Not a member myself, but I agree that this makes alot of sense, where proof of membership is a requirement to join this instance.
On a seperate note, how does one become a member of SDF?
I honestly would like to see more of this for like cons and such. Orgs that already exist using federated instances so that they can interact not only with each other but also the greater community. I could see cons giving access with badges and not sunsetting them so basically if someone ever goes to one they could get a login. maker spaces and such to.
