Honestly I would like to see a feature that flags if a user's instance has open sign up.

It's getting to the point that if someone is still on an open instance, they're a little sus to me. It's easier to trust people who come from instances whose policies I agree with.

You know people can just lie though, right? It's not like that's the one magical thing that would "fix Lemmy" or something lol.

People won't usually go to that effort just to troll when there are open instances available, and anyone with closed sign up will be quicker to ban someone who turns out to have lied about the kind of person they are, rather than these giant open instances that don't seem to give a shit.

And yes, I know it won't '"fix Lemmy" or something lol', I never said it would. I said it was a feature I would like to see.
