Just wanted to say thanks to the host of this instance.

The mini essay was a great idea. I definitely believe it will keep out at least some level of the riff and the raff. As much as people may dislike the idea of a gatekeeper, I believe it will make and keep the community much more fun, friendly, and useful.

I feel much more at ease on this service than on Reddit. I don't feel like I'm arguing with bots and trolls. Or dealing with bad actors and agitators. I'm discussing things. Reading the actual articles. And not doom scrolling. The nature of this service seems more organic.

Again. Thank you for your time and service to this (hopefully) growing community.

I was surprised that an email address is optional here on lemmy.ca

It should be required and verified. Otherwise you could sign up and do shit, get banned and repeat.

Nothing stops anyone from using a temporary email service to sign up though.

yep, or googles (and other providers) + thing, whatever it's called.

just to expand on this a bit, when i took over the instance that was how it was setup (no e-mail required), and i never bothered to change it.

if someone wants to sign up and do bad shit, even with emails required & verified, it's still easy for them to create multiple accounts.
