Wasn't the argument for having open sign-ups that some Lemmy apps redirect straight to Lemmy.world for registration?
Good. If this is what it takes to overcome the issue then it's fine. Sucks for the real users but they also have alternatives.
I'm actually advocating for something in between: having a open registration weekend on a set time every month, and registration applications the rest of the time.
It solves both problem of having too many applications to deal with, and makes it a lot harder to create spam accounts since the time surface is reduced significantly.
Then bot creators would just.... Use the open signup window and regular users get the shaft.
It's easier to monitor for suspicious bit signup activities when you funnel them into a small time window with full attention during that time frame, instead of having to watch for them 24/7.
Can you explain? It's likely not a human validating hundreds of not thousands of signups anyway.
I approve because I'm a hipster and as a senpai I like to shit on newb kouhai.
