Hey everyone, just wanted to give a quick update.

After opening things up more on Plebbit/Seedit, we got hit pretty hard with spam and some NSFW content. It got out of hand fast and honestly, its worse than we expected.

To stop that from messing everything up, we’re thinking about adding optional email or SMS verification when people sign up.

This isn’t something we wanted to do at first, but it seems necessary to protect the space and avoid getting buried in garbage.

we’re still fully open source, and still want this to feel like a community. If you’ve got other ideas or feedback, feel free to share.

    where anyone can create and fully own unstoppable communities.

    One man’s “unstoppable communities”, are another man’s “spam and NSFW content” 🤷

    I think you need to make up your mind what you actually want. Gatekeeping access under the guise of fighting spam seems directly contradictory to the stated goal of your project, and assuming it wouldn’t be flooded with such content when most of the internet consists of such was pretty naive.
