minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•6 days agoyeah it was more about that “seeing that one IP address registers 100 accounts” thing.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•5 days agoyou know instances can defederate whole other instances?
minus-squareFaceDeerlinkfedilink3•5 days agoYes. As I explained above, it would be trivial for it to masquerade as a normal instance. Allow real people to join and it would be a normal instance. How would you detect it as being otherwise?

If they’re the one running the instance it won’t matter.
you know instances can defederate whole other instances?
Yes. As I explained above, it would be trivial for it to masquerade as a normal instance. Allow real people to join and it would be a normal instance. How would you detect it as being otherwise?
