Would it be easier to just everybody in or is there a reason you want to review everybody?
We have open approvals, but also emails when people register. It lets me skim usernames and check out new accounts manually, whilst also having open registration
I suppose they do it to avoid possible spam and an explosion of registratuon that slows/crashes the server
Think it was some bot issue with bots posting gore and such
Yeah, that's why many instances also block other instances that technically aren't bad, but due to the amount of pill ads, and people with hitler profile pictures posting gore coming from them have been blocked. That's why so many instances have an application process.
