#ActivityPub #Fediverse #Mastodon #OpenRegistrationHurts @alice made a downright AMAZING post about the perils of open registration a while ago, and I suggest you go show them some attention. But some of the discussion on that post got me thinking. The main reason people don't want manual account approval, it seems, is because of the time it takes. So, I propose a third registration mode. This would require no extra modifications to ActivityPub and perhaps one minor tweak to nodeinfo (1/?)
