How would you transfer an identity between an instance with open registration and one that required admin approval? Or CAPTCHA? Does the old instance continue to store your user or delete it? What about content you’ve posted, should that be redirected to your new user?
This isn’t a theoretical problem, it’s a technical and administrative one.
Ty. I have full disk, and literally one real user with one comment. Re-subbing would be the only annoying thing lol
21,000 users with no comments, posts, or votes on an instance that’s never been advertised and isn’t on the community browser or thefederation… Yeah nah lol.
Can I just drop them from public.persons and move on?
Well, my bots haven’t done anything apparently, but there are a couple thousand of them. I’m surprised considering my instance wasn’t even listed anywhere lol. Have a query for safely deleting all but two accounts by chance?
i3. Once I got used to tiling window managers I just can’t use anything else.
Massive PHP hater here!
Yeah, even outside the loop I know that, just like every other major programming language, it has grown a lot to mature with general coding practices. It’s reasonable well suited for something that has tons of server side content.
I’d put money that a large number of Lemmy instances are hosted on low end hardware that people have laying around. The bigger ones are dedicated hardware or cloud instances, but also the default rate limits are pretty high. As another user said, it would be trivial even before considering actual storage limits
Apologies for the confusion, I meant I have full disk access.
