I'm always wary of using SSH services which aren't running on systems I control. If I'm not mistaken, an SSH service is able to see all of the pubkeys you have in your ~/.ssh/, so there goes your privacy.
pretty neat, i signed up. reminds me of the days hanging out on sdf.lonestar.org.
There's also hashbang.sh, for those curious

But they were public keys, it's completely fine if the entire world sees them

From personal experience in running similar things, they aren't a good method of discerning quality of people.
I'm curious, what are the "good" methods for discerning/filtering quality of people? How are "good" and "bad" quality of people categorized? (binary? spectrum/distribution?) How can you estimate/measure the quality of the filter/method with precision? I assume no filter is perfect and mistakenly filter out "good" quality people too, so if this method isn't good that suggest there's a metric and a more efficient metho…
Observation is probably the best method. I rarely have found form options to be effective. A good chunk of 'good' people tend to get filtered out from my observation.
Generally the approach that has worked for me having a tier system. People who meet your criteria get greater access etc over time.

Generally, "good" is anyone that helps your community prosper. "Bad" are typically people who cause unwanted conflicts, create a toxic environment etc.
I find that amazing that the BBS acronym doesn't show up although it would seem an obvious comparison.

Something along the lines of:

Send me an email and I get you an account on tilde.fun. It's pretty defunct right now but I'd like to have some actual users ;) No need for any personal info besides your email address.
Why do you need an email address? Reddit & HN don't.
I thought "Wow, cool - I gonna sign up". And then I saw their sign up form. 10 fields is a bit too much.
Even such low barriers as a small form do wonders for the quality of people on the other side, you won't be missed. (if you genuinely can't be bothered)
I run tilde.fun. It's currently defunct but I'm migrating the site to a new server today. We have an SSH signup form with no need for any personal details but an email address, written in Python, in the making ( https://code.tilde.fun/tilde/ssh-reg ) I'd really like to automate account creation and have someone look over it before I actually deploy it. Write me an email (address in my profile) if you're interested in…
> address in my profile Note that the HN profile e-mail field is not public. That field is for password reset stuff or something. If you want people to see your e-mail you will need to write what it is in the profile description.
