Seriously, out of any community how does /r/Piracy have so many people who have such a hate-boner for new thing Lemmy? Please tell me I’m not the only one aghast by this right now.

    Aren’t the questions basically just why do you want to join, why’d you pick your username and how’d you find this place? It’s not like the question is asking to solve euclidean equations.

        They probably tried to sign up on beehaw which has three questions about your intentions. I’m sure there’s others but I think beehaw is the biggest with an application.

        Some instances like ours at Lemmy.pro ask simple questions to try and filter out bots etc. Other admin options include requiring email address be used and the captcha difficulty level. Bad thing is if you enable these, places like browse.feddit or whatever it’s called list your registrations as being closed. They’re not, they just restricted with a small challenge.
