I'm also working on a radical approach to federation, @pixelfed admins will soon have a game changing approach to manage federation. Imagine being able to filter federated activities from outdated instances that have open registration enabled, with a single tap. Forget importing blocklists, we're making it more simple and easier to manage federation. Pixelfed makes moderation easy ✨ #pixelfed #federation

I think this is something Lemmy should also consider. Open registration is an invitation to abuse an instance as a spam vector.

    Nothing to stop an instance that was set up just for spam from lying about it of course.

    Yep it’s trivial to get a reverse proxy to modify the response to make it look like they don’t have open registration.
