Hey there, many of you worried after recent registration bot waves on other instances and now after the temp captcha removal for this Lemmy release.
It was fine until now, but it looks like the bored kids with their bots have now found this server. Approval of new signups is now required again. Especially sad as this does not scale well.
In our quest for instant gratification we have to decide if we want to share that space with bots or be patient. I for one am more than happy to be patient. The benefits will more than outweigh the cons.
