Hard disagree. I do not want to have 2FA for every shittly little thing I do not care about.
Yeah. GitHub makes sense because most users are writing code that can be executed by others. That makes GitHub accounts security critical.
But a Lemmy account? Naw, you lose almost nothing if that gets compromised. A little bit of history and subscriptions, mostly.
I'm in a discord that for some reason "requires" 2FA. Based on searching, I think they give everyone some kinda admin role or something? It doesn't actually require 2FA, but it shows a very annoying warning that covers up a bunch of the channel selection screen. But despite that, I don't really wanna deal with the hassle of 2FA on a chat app that's basically consequence free for me if it gets exploited.
