@david Fair enough.

What makes you _think_ this? 🤔

@prologic the transition from register to login is sudden. There is nothing that tells the user what has happened. You go to register, enter details that have no challenge (no repeat password, for example), then after hitting register you are suddenly on a similar screen to login. I know it is frictionless, but the first time I used I was confused. That's what I meant.
@david I kind of like the self approving step idea -- Send an email with a token to confirm the new account.

@prologic it could certainly slow down a potential malicious user registering. Now, since we do not keep emails on database, are we going to check for existing hashes, so different users do not register reusing the same email address?
@david We could potentially do that yes

@prologic @david Previously, people were free to enter an e-mail address or not. Now everybody is forced to enter an e-mail address. Just want to point that out.
@lyse nope, just signed up on twtxt.net, no email was needed. @prologic, please feel free to delete "copernicus" from your pod. 😁
