Hello everyone on asklemmy. I’m new to the lemmyverse and enjoy the communities and people here :) But now my question is: what’s the difference between creating an account on a server where you have to go through a whole series of steps? I don’t know if that’s the case, but I feel like there’s a difference between an account on a server where I have to go through a whole registration process and get approved manually and an account that I can “just” register and use. I don’t understand the difference since I can interact with all communities on all servers. Thank you in advance!

    Uh. That’s only part of the story. Bots can get through basically all verification. The defederation is more political than it is about spam bots.
