I wonder what motivated any DOS attacks.
It's interesting that privacy & security is what is driving this. Presumably future vendors will have AI products that overcome these suggestions.
Subscribing to communities on other fediverse sites (instances) is relatively straightforward, but not intuitive.
Paste their address in the format !community@site.com into the search bar here - click on the result returned, now when you get back to the site, you should see a "Join" button you can click.
It's interesting that there is an investor gold rush for AI at the moment. I wonder if many of them will follow the same unsuccessful path outlined here?
You've reminded me there's an error there (confusion with nomenclature) that I'll go & fix.
In fairness, I can see why the accusation of being spammy is justified. But to address the issue of scamminess - Although we don't mention the site address yet, here's it being talked about by the Mod Team on r/futurology

Thanks for this, I'm passing it on to the developer. We've been assuming email verification is important to combat bots/trolls. I'll bring up the observation it isn't widely used. It often seems to be something to do with problems we've been having.
Thank you. This is very helpful. Someone else questioned why we are even using email verification as they said few other instances are using it.
We'd assumed it was important from the perspective of bots, trolling, spam, etc But it seems to be at the root of the problems we've been having.
Thanks. It seems email verification is what is causing most of the problems.
Thanks, hadn't thought of that, we'll look at it.
incoming reddit users could be a huge benefit (familiarity) And maybe add those options (a. & old.) on the side panel with a link for tutorials how to use Lemmy and its apps
Yes, I've been thinking about how to make it as simple as possible to understand for reddit users. Where we explained it here, is an attempt to reduce things to the simplest language - https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/15pbknv/do_you_have_some_time_to_take_a_look_at/
This reminds of strange circling behavior of Basking sharks off the the Irish Atlantic coast that's been captured with drones.
