I'm not sure how dirty the game of big social media is/will be, but if they really feel threatened, they may start something like that (might make sense to be legally secured in that case...).
that is pretty labor intensive, I wonder how many of us would want to pitch in, or if the server software even allows delegating that responsibility to non admins. I know for sure that I dont have time to mod lemmy as much as I want to see it succeed after abandoning r
I think at the time where this will be relevant, it will be implemented (I don't think it's that difficult), I don't think it will be that difficult. Apart from that a lot of the instances already have manual sign up, and it's working well so far AFAIK. (The beauty of decentralization is, that this work will be distributed among all the different instances, whereas the number of instances is ideally proportionally growing like the userbase). But yeah ideally it wouldn't be necessary and some kind of smart algorithm (AI? captcha?) will decide whether the user is allowed to register (as it is currently with captchas)... But we'll see...
