Defederated from Feddit.nl. Update: Refederated! (lemmy.world)

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!

Last I checked, even Reddit allows signups without an email address…

In case anyone's wondering, you can use the old.reddit.com interface to sign up without an email.

I only ever used old.reddit.com. Didn’t realize that option was limited to to the old interface

Last time I signed up, even new one allows you to leave email empty.

That's true but they annoy you with a persistent banner to add an email address later on. But it's working nonetheless.
