Accessibility is very important to me as a blind user, and this helps tremendously.
For each account you register, you have to do 30 seconds worth of work. So to register one account, you do 30 seconds worth of work. To register 100 accounts, you do 100*30 or 3000 seconds (50 minutes) worth of work. Registering tens of thousands of accounts then becomes unfeasible.
Proof of work. Example, bitcoin
A PoW could limit bots too. Require say 30 seconds of work before your registration submits. For regular users that isnt to bad. For bots its a PITA to get tons of accounts
Edit: tor uses PoW as DDOS protection and its helped massively
They accept bitcoin, but i paid it with my monero via a swap service. Though the ought to accept monero directly.
I have been using it since September and enjoy it. (Paid with crypto of course)
Try SimpleX chat.

No problem. The cops in this case are doing a good disinformation campaign.
That was debunked. That person accidently uploaded a .tar of their home folder which had info on previous hacks the cops knew he committed. The monero was not the link their.
Monero is the answer to this
Ouch, that hurts just reading it.
Actually, lemmy has totally replaced all reddit usage for me and the only other social media i have is mastodon.
I hate how /e/os looks so much like IOS. If i wanted IOS i would buy an iphone. That launcher and those icons make me never want to install it ever.
They work fine with web apps, but from what i can tell native apps can pass more instructions to them like “skip this because its a link preview image” etc.
I am using a native app only because it works better with the platform screen readers.
In thunder from the post and comments screen tap the community name under the OP and there is a “+” or “-” depending on your sub state.
Cops are just gangsters most people trust sadly. They are a protection racket that steals from you (taxes) and is actually not required to protect you at all.
