I wonder how many thousands of spam bots have tried to connect to the servers and send email using text ripped from these pages federated across numerous domains.
And they can’t just block one website. They’d have to individually block every node if they want to crawl the web for email addresses to steal. I hope it’s a real thorn in their side.
Except if someone selfhosts lemmy and an email server, it would work again. If I’d selfhost lemmy on 30p87.de, 30p87@30p87.de as lemmy user would also be valid as an email address for 30p87.de.
