I KNOW IT SUCKS, I KNOW IT IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT, BUT PLEASE DISABLE YOUR DAMN OPEN MASTODON INSTANCE REGISTRATIONS

@jerry I would never sign up for an instance that wasn't open. I'm not going to be pre-judged by anybody. Just. No.

Ewww.

I understand the administrative burden, but 🤢.

AI bots yaaaaaay

Honestly, Jerry is doing an amazing job.

I mean if you don't like to be pre-judged, you can always self-host?

@13reak You lock down registrations, you're excluding anyone not willing to write an essay justifying themselves.

And there was no attack on Jerry in that.

@clonezone Seriously? Write an essay? The most you have to do is prove your human by just saying some things. I know you feel like it's a personal attack on you, but it isn't

But, but. But now those monsters are all able and willing to write you way better than typical nerdy person has patience for. We recently joked about #verified mastodon users, but it will be no joke if a silicon based #noai hater will figure this out, with a little help of protein-based malice. Time to make a good typo and skewed grammar detector. For instances open or not alike.
