Lately we have been dealing with a few abusive members from Feddit.nl and we were unable to get in touch with the instance administrator.

Part of the problem is the instance's open registrations which do not require you to enter an e-mail address during signup. This in combination with an inactive admin is a recipe for abuse.

We hope this is only temporary but we have to do this to protect our users.

Edit: we use fediseer, have a look https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world

Edit 2: We got in touch with the Feddit.nl admin. Email requirements were added to the sign-up process and we're setting up a communication channel. So that means we are federating with Feddit.nl again!

Back when I signed up for reddit, you didn't need an email and they warned you if you lost your password you'd be locked out of your account until you regained it and they would not offer support to reset it

I liked that. I don't want to have to submit my email for everything just to interact

One of the reasons I have my own email domain and random email addresses for certain services.

Managing this for a large amount of services is a huge overhead for me. I use Sub-addressing and then apply filters based on categories.

If you have catch all enabled for your custom domain there's no overhead.

Signing up for reddit? Just put reddit@example.com and that address will be automatically created and start receiving reddit's emails. Don't have to fiddle with anything.
