IMO registration applications should have been in use right from the start. Less annoyances for admins and moderators.
Not really, you have to manually approve all.
Indeed. This is a lot more work.
I wouldn't put the manual review of thousands of application into the "less annoyances" box.
Absolutely agreed. Similar to waiting periods for weapons purchases. It would be an effective filter for most people who get in the mood of making a troll post, they would get tired of it before they are approved, and many users with hateful names would be disallowed before they can start posting their hate.
Example of hateful user
@lgbtslayer@lemmy.world being the quintessential example that pushed Beehaw to defederate from LW, after that user posted anti-lgbt and misogynist stuff directly into Beehaw's lgbtq+ communityNo, applications are a very degrading process for both users and admins.
I agree it's annoying and hopefully will one day soon not be necessary, but "degrading" is something I don't think ever occurred to me. Is there some aspect to having to get manually approved that is degrading that I'm not aware of?
I never use services which require an application. First of all, that's a bad user experience. Second, it's enough to write some bullshit during job applications.
The application is a question asking if you read the statement (which is the same as the post above).
The rest of the application is the same application you had to fill out when you created the account even when it was open sign ups. The only real difference is it's not automatically accepted but manually accepted.
degrading?
Oh shut up
