Which is good. You either have an open system or a closed one. There’s no in-between.
If you want to have advantages of public free decentralized network you can’t obfuscate and centralize bits and pieces of it. Also, it’s 2024, we need to stop this misinformation that email address is supposed to be private. What is private is email address association with the owner and Lemmy doesn’t leak or infringe on. The address is literally called address because it’s supposed to be public.
Nah it has nothing to do with attitude but with practicality. This would mean people’s fingerprints need to be public and shared between servers or some other hack. It’s just possible in any safety and its not really a hill worth dying on. Do we really care about users dodging subreddit bans that much? Its silly.
I agree with your first few points but I’m unsure about the scraping. This is a public forum, what could be done to mitigate scraping that wouldn’t take away form that?
Instances can enable or disable the email verification and other measures, like asking why you want to join that instance.
I don’t recall reddit being so liberal. I haven’t used an account I didn’t verified in the same day, so I can’t say if it works, but I suspect they can enable different protocols for inspecting unverified accs.
As a side-note to that discussion: my VPN works with most services i can’t access otherwise while reddit blocked me as I tried to access it to see for myself. I’m surprised.

What would a “fix” look like in your eyes? Do you have na implementation in mind?
