Defederated from Feddit.nl. Update: Refederated! (self.lemmyworld)

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!

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.

I do this as well but there's been quite a few times when the email input wouldn't accept it and it's usually on the sites you really wanna have it on.

Got a domain? Setup 'catch all' and you are all set. If not consider a cheap one. It's unlimited disposable email addresses for few buck a year.
