What instances don't have open signup? I'm on kbin but also signed up to sh.itjust.works and another instance because I had no idea what I was doing. The only difference was that one of them required that I write a quick blurb on why I wanted to join. What does a closed signup look like?
There are closed signups (no new folk at all), open signups (everyone can join instantly) and limited sign ups (you have to apply to join and be approved by an admin)
The one with the blurb "why do you want to join" is the one with closed sign-ups.
Exactly like that quick blurb you had. It was manually read and approved by an admin. Open registration means it does not need manual approval. You get the account instantly, maybe after automated email verification.
It's not just the open sign ups, it's the combination of multiple factors
@beefcat Alas that used to be contained to reddit. But since reddit is having drama. They're probably trolling and or trying to ruin other platforms who just want to tell puns that aren't half bad, but are more full bad. Unfortunately the developers or communities didn't see a need to have features to do something about them. Part of the sad thing, is these twits wonder why reddit didn't tolerate them their either.
