#ActivityPub #Fediverse #Mastodon #OpenRegistrationHurts @alice made a downright AMAZING post about the perils of open registration a while ago, and I suggest you go show them some attention. But some of the discussion on that post got me thinking. The main reason people don't want manual account approval, it seems, is because of the time it takes. So, I propose a third registration mode. This would require no extra modifications to ActivityPub and perhaps one minor tweak to nodeinfo (1/?)

This mode would be a sort of "in-between" thing. A user would register an account and would be immediately able to log in, see posts, follow users, the lot. Here's the kicker, however: none of those actions would *go through* until mods approved the account. So you could sign up, post all you want, comment stuff, like, boost, the lot, but it wouldn't be visible to anyone (including local users) until a moderator approved you. (2/?)
