↳ In-reply-to » regarding the spam, bots and spam accounts, that we seem to be attracting lately… What if we build a feature where instead of just completely open registrations, we change this to accept an email address that sends an email to the pod operator with a link to accept or reject the registration?

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t know what you mean by “anything above 2000”.

I’m not sure I’m comfortable with automatically nuking accounts. I think I’d rather look over the list myself and have the opportunity to modify which accounts are deleted. It seems like good practice to me to not automate administrator decisions that affect people. Yes, the vast majority of these accounts are probably not backed by real people who want to participate in a non-spammy way, but I don’t like the notion of accidentally catching a person up in an algorithmic purging.
