<![CDATA[#MastodonAdmin I am getting hundreds of new (fake or robot) signups daily.]]> I am getting hundreds of new (fake or robot) signups daily. I am denying all of them - maybe some of them are legitimate, but it would take hours to go through them - they are writing reasons for signing up. Most of them completely irrelevant for my instance, but some of them have made an effort to provide a relevant reason.

Anyways, I think I'll need to just close for new accounts. Or is there some way I can filter the robots from the humans?
