In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.

Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

Registrations should require a valid email address and temporary/disposable (e.g. temp-mail.org ) email services should be rejected.

Note this should not be implemented as a whitelist; "obscure" email services such as Protonmail, Tutanota and personal email servers should be allowed.

Pros:

  • Cuts down on the number of trolls attempting to register, reducing load on mods and admins.
  • Improves our standing with other instances.
  • Ensures users have the ability to reset their password.

Cons:

  • Has privacy concerns - people may not want to associate their email address with everything.
  • Users may not (and perhaps should not have to) trust the admins of this instance with their email.
  • May not be supported well by Lemmy, and/or require a blacklist that needs updating.

Aye and nay in the comments, please.
