CAPTCHAs enabled for now

Hey there!
We're experiencing a high frequency of failed bot account signups since around 2 hours or so. They're all using random names with the same pattern and random GMail e-mail addresses.
In an effort to combat this and to prevent GMail from rate-limiting our mail server, I just enabled CAPTCHAs during registration for now.
In case you experience an issue during registration, please e-mail admin fossware space. Thank you!
Technical stuff
I'm going to see wether or not it'd be feasible to connect Fail2Ban to Lemmy in order to stop sign ups like that.
I'll go ahead and remove the accounts that were created from the database.
