Hey I don’t run any instance so I’m not sure what’s the best way to alert all instance admins - but there seems to be a massive wave of signups over the last few days, most likely by bots. I think some of the bigger instances know this and have mitigated it (my instance enabled captcha and email verification), but as a result, smaller instances like startrek.website and waveform.social are getting hammered. They’ve gone from 2000-4000ish users to >10,000 overnight. If this isn’t fixed, it will probably be a big problem when these bot accounts are activated. It would suck if you run a smaller instance and had to defederate yourself because of thousands of spam bots.
