I’m wanting to lock down site signups. I need your help on what question to put to applicants that can be used to vet their application.

Why do this? I expect that as lemmy matures and grows, it will gain the attention of trolls etc that we do not want here.

Also with Beehaw defederating some larger instances with open signups, I’d like to avoid the same fate.

    You’re still welcome to signup, I just need to smash an approve button before the account is enabled :)

      Yeah, but I want to wait until the questionnaire is complex, each question more difficult than the last.

      Maybe prompt someone to use the “nah yeah/yeah nah” and failure to do so is instant rejection.

      As much as beehaw defederating has it’s issues, it also doesn’t. I’ve just been using aussie.zone not signed in and it’s fine. Not too much worth commenting on.
