@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they’re salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they’re trying to “fuck your entire site up” but I imagine it’s a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they’re creating, LMAO.

    Some sites do this and it’s annoying. A better check is to compare the part before the + if it’s Gmail.

      You can add a . anywhere in the username part of a GMail address. u.ser.na.m.e@gmail.com is the same as username@gmail.com

        Whether or not Lemmy supports this at this point, I dunno, but it’s easy enough to code your username verification to remove all +s and periods before continuing to ensure uniqueness.

            Ah yes, you corrected my logic on the +. Thanks for the added insight on the Google workspace.

        That is not actually true. The + method works, but not the . method.
