According to @dansup:

#Loops has a dead man’s switch. If an admin does not log in for a week, open registrations close.

This might seem like a small thing but it’s huge for trust and safety.

#Fedicon

yeah, I love it! really want to copy it in #welley

hopefully it is not patented, lol :)

@skavish@welley.social definitely not, I think it's just a common sense approach to handling abandoned/unmanaged instances.

There were calls for this last year when spammers took advantage of abandoned servers with open registration and went absolutely nuts.

Does it rise to the level of an FEP? Maybe if combined with a couple other common sense approaches to forum admin got any other ideas?

@iftas@mastodon.iftas.org may have some additional thoughts.
