I don’t get what the problem is? Anyone can elaborate.

Edit: Thank you all for shedding more light on this topic. I’ve never really used flatpak but I do understand it better now!

    What instances don’t have open signup? I’m on kbin but also signed up to sh.itjust.works and another instance because I had no idea what I was doing. The only difference was that one of them required that I write a quick blurb on why I wanted to join. What does a closed signup look like?

      It’s not just the open sign ups, it’s the combination of multiple factors

      • Lemmy.world is the largest and fastest growing instance leading to a lot of low-effort content/spam
      • Their size and open sign-ups mean trolls just make new accounts when they get banned, making bans ineffective
      • Lemmy’s moderation tools are not yet up to the task of dealing with this problem at this scale

        @beefcat Alas that used to be contained to reddit. But since reddit is having drama. They’re probably trolling and or trying to ruin other platforms who just want to tell puns that aren’t half bad, but are more full bad. Unfortunately the developers or communities didn’t see a need to have features to do something about them. Part of the sad thing, is these twits wonder why reddit didn’t tolerate them their either.
