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 @13reak It doesn't have to be an essay.
I don't require much, but I really only give accounts to people I know (IRL or virtually)

@chewie Totally fine. But, then, I'm not planning on signing up to your instance. 🙂
