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:

I spend a lot of time downvoting and reporting and I've volunteered to co-mod the worst offending subs that I'm subnscribed to. It's not clear that any of this has any effect.

At this point, it feels like a bit of a lost cause.

What we really need is more people stepping up to moderate.

Are there some key magazines that need it? I will step up, if only to play whack a mole as I understand it.

https://kbin.social/m/opensource is plastered with spam, that would be a good one to moderate.

I'm not sure how to request that one since it has an active owner. I did request another that was available.
