Best practice in 2023 is a simple, sufficiently long but memorable passphrase. Excessive requirements mean users just create weak passwords with patterns.
[Capital letter]basic word(number){special character}

Enforcing password changes doesnt help either. It just creates further patterns. The vast majority of compromised credentials are used immediately or within a short time frame anyway. Changing the password 2 months later isnt going to help and passwords like July2023!, which are common, are weak to begin with.

A non expiring, long, easily remembered passphase like
forgetting-spaghetti-toad-box
Is much more secure than a short password with enforced complexity requirements.

Are we really starting this shit here?

Everything on the internet is a repost. Calling it out adds nothing worthwhile to the conversation and just derails any conversation.

DDG was great a few years ago and has steadily become shitter and shitter with time. Its still my default but I find myself banging to others more and more.

I dont use canvas, but I deal with plenty of images and screenshots. I usually just have a topic top level folder that contains notes and a nested media folder that I store the images in and link to them

Possible people who dont get approved immediately move on to amother server and settle in.

I would respectfully disagree.

The people who were susceptible to coming over to lemmy as it is are already here. Those who think its too complicated or whatever will stay on reddit.

I think the key to wider lemmy adoption is by focusing on the product, not so much the marketing. While it obviously helps for people to know about it, which many people now do, it doesn't matter if they come check it out and its a confusing ghost town.

Getting these apps out and filling the platform with communities and content is, I think, much more important than trying to drag people here kicking and screaming.

As the platform becomes better, the people will come.
