I just recently set up my own instance vlemmy.net and am wondering whats the consensus on email verification? I myself am quite privacy conscious and would understand people not wanting to sign up with an email, but if no email is required would there be a spam risk, your insight would be much appreciated, thanks.

    Do you think it would be important to have it enabled so that everyone who joins has a recovery factor? Mabye reduce the number of lost accounts?

      I don’t make it mandatory on our instance, but the amount of people that forget their passwords is staggering. I think many people just don’t bother with remembering their passwords at all and just depend on the password reset feature when they switch devices or so.
