One idea I had would be that they could require accounts to have SDF emails, that would basically require people to have Validated TTY accounts, I believe social.sdf.org does this. They could also accomplish the same thing by closing registration completely and having it be solely managed via the Maint command in the TTY shell.
I think it very likely was, similar to how mastodon.sdf.org was largely an afterthought. I say that because that server has had many maintenance issues in the past and I’ve seen people complaining about it while nothing gets done. Part of the reason I joined social.sdf.org instead.
Hell they managed to keep social.sdf.org up even when there was a power outage. They clearly care about that one a lot. Not Lemmy or the general Mastodon one though. These are just an afterthought because someone at SDF thought it would be really cool to get into the Fediverse.

Yes, a validated TTY account is required for social.sdf.org

I’m surprised that more of their services aren’t like that. I mean they should be, but for some reason they aren’t.
