Naw, the site would be better off simply banning only fans. Go to Reddit if you want ads.

It is most definitely spam. Only fans should be banned from the Internet.

Well count me in. It took me two weeks to successfully create an account, but it finally didn’t crap out on me.

Maybe this is the good thing. Let Reddit stay filled with the lowest common denominator and divisive politics. Making Lemmy a little more hassle than the common user wants to experience to get into might be the only thing that keeps it from becoming the ban heavy echo chamber Reddit is.
