It seems there are always people on the internet who spread negativity about those who actually create things. Best you can do is ignore them.
I haven't seen that community before. Some people have way too much time on their hands to keep posting about things they dislike. But at least it proves that censorship on Lemmy is impossible, when not even us developers can do it.
Wait, when have I ever denied any genocide?
Or even some logic to automatically exclude from the list any instance with more than x% of active users.
I posted about this in the admin chat on matrix, but you're right the pull request was merged very quickly.
The lemmyverse link is also a good idea, but users only see it after filling in their email and password. At that point it's unlikely that they would cancel it and go to a different website.
Edit: I'm now thinking to change the joinlemmy code so that any instance with more than x% of active users will automatically be hidden.
Right, I didn't think how it would affect the total active user count. Will have to think of a solution for that.
Another proof that Dutch is just German with slightly different writing/pronunciation.

Why don't you post about these stories then?
I mean phone number verification like steam does. It's only one of many possibilities when you are a major company.
Interesting, I never used digg and didn't know about it's history. It seems like they could have easily fought back bots with captchas, email verification, phone verification and so on.
I pay around 80€ per month for the lemmy.ml server, plus a few euros for image hosting and domain. So that's around 3 cents per active user.
That's only one developer, but you were talking in plural. What other Lemmy dev are you referring to?
