As the title says, lemm.ee is defederating instances that are allowing thousands of spam bots to be created on them. Will we be taking similar action? What is the game plan here?

    Personally, I think adding a recaptcha and possibly a recovery email are reasonable to add to sign in.

    When I made my account this past weekend, it was refreshing to only need a username and password, but it’s also way too easy to abuse.

      I’m not sure email even does anything though. It will depend if that instance even has SMTP set up.
