Yep, give admins the tools they need to identify this activity so they can defederate accordingly. Seems like the only way.

Great, so even on Lemmy 'Shower Thoughts' are just statements.

Unpopular opinion, but I'd consider it if the API provided all the data. I never expected the API to always continue to be free. But making me pay and providing incomplete data? Nah.

Just pay for Spotify... £10 for access to almost every song ever published. People need to appreciate how good they have it.

Allowing mods to pin comments was a mistake. Was always going to be abused.

The good thing is I think most of these issues are a design issue that can be solved client side rather than fundamental flaws in the architecture.

For example, if you go to comment on a Beehaw thread and the app just showed some kind of prompt, e.g. "Sign-up to Beehaw or an instance federated with Beehaw to comment on this sublemmy" I think it would feel pretty straightforward.

All the confusion with how federation works is something a well designed app could explain to users as they explore. Obviously it will just take time for the platform to mature to this stage.

Why can I still see Beehaw posts though?
