I should probably know this, but why “threadverse” and not “fediverse”? The name Threadverse sounds like a Meta trademark.

Tech is short-hand for technology.
So, technology companies and technology workers.
https://instance.name/instances
This tells you which instances are federated/blocked. Everyone should have an /instances page.
We require an email address and a response to a question on our signups. The response doesn’t need to be more than about 5 words, it’s just to stop bots putting random characters or single words in there.
So far, it has seemed to ride that balance between low bar of entry and too hard to spam with bot applicants.
That said, if I wanted to spam the Fediverse, I’d just spin up my own instance of Lemmy or Mastodon.
You are very helpful and correct - thank you for that. I suspect it was something of a double entendre joke, however.
That’s probably to do with the federation issues that cropped up with the new Lemmy version at Christmas.
I’ve heard reports from our users that liftoff stopped working when we upgraded on Sunday also. It apparently doesn’t work with the new version and they said the dev ran off to start a family.
This is a commonly requested feature, and is likely to appear in a future version of Lemmy. In the interim, several of the mobile apps have this feature.
Ha! They’ve revived place? They must really be desperate for engagement.
I loved place both previous times it happened. I’ll happily look at the final canvas, but that’ll be the extent of my involvement this time.
Prometheus. Stole fire and gave it to humanity. Then in return was tied down and had to go through the same torture day after day for 30,000 years.
But, I like my username. Why would I change it?
The problem with this is trust. If you could seamlessly migrate like this, there’s nothing to stop someone faking a long post/comment on their own instance, making them look very legitimate and then migrating that account to a trusted/legitimate instance.
Then using that for spam/selling block chain etc.
People are the reason we can’t have nice things.
