Lol nope. Right now registration questions and email validation are the only tools.
Like the comms would request from the instance your on for their email you used to register? Comms themselves could use email verification
Huh? Instances canβt give out emails, thatβs a privacy violation.
Instance admins can tell your IP and presumably browser info if they bother to collect that data.
Lemmy doesnβt log ips, and the access logs donβt contain usernames or idβs by default. You would need to modify things to record ips.
Nginx and Lemmy both absolutely logs IPs by default.
sudo journalctl -u lemmy -f.I assume that most admins of server big enough that they have to worry about abuse should check IPs to detect ban evasion, although you can get around it reliably by switching instances, and whether they actually do that or not would be a crapshoot, I think.
Apparently instances can share IP with each other but only for problematic ip addresses. Itβs not part of the protocol to give up address of the user
Even if Lemmy could track IP addresses its so easy to use a VPN or proxy I doubt it would stop most dedicated ban evaders.
