kbin.social is being overrun with spammers. Can we disable registrations on this instance so they can’t keep creating new accounts? Every day I log on, I have to spend the first 20-30 minutes, reporting and blocking a bunch of new accounts.

Here are some that were just created today:

    This might be a good idea, at least until Ernest gets back. To my knowledge, he’s the only instance admin, so as long as he’s inactive, the spammers won’t get dealt with (especially on magazines he moderates, like /m/tech).

    Ideally, there could be another admin or two to deal with this stuff when he’s not available, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
