    There was a post that has code snippet that tells lemmy admins to turn on email verification and captcha.

    And then lemmy.world admin turned off signup for a little while to clean up bot accounts.

    Then account numbers jumped 84k in one day.

    Coincidence? I don’t think so.

      I left something out

      The code snippet was 24 lines of Python code that demonstrate how to generate random username and password and call lemmy’s API to register account.
