It does not. Other then running a private/closed instance there’s really no way to limit input from anyone with an account.

So, are the other 2 accounts who upvoted this bot’s or just stupid?

We’re working on that, but not there yet.

It could be a page on the instance with half based on a form to be filled out in the admin pages, and the other half with Lemmy funding.

A shared donation page might encourage them to promote it. One where there would be all lemmy dev funding options, but admins could also add theirs. Sounds like a low hanging fruit.

We’ll also discuss announcing a cut of our donations going upstream in our collective.
