If you use a temporary email address to sign up for phpc.social, don't; we'll be blocking new account creation requests from those email domains before they even reach a moderator starting soon. We have a wave of bots using these to (attempt to) sign up and it's not a good use of mods' time to look through LLM-generated sign up reasons for the needle in a haystack that is a legitimate account.
If you're another Mastodon admin, DM me for a patch for making this blocking easier. #mastoAdmin
@ian They are a bloody pest, the forum of one of my OSS projects gets thousands of account creation attempts every day.
We had to resort to paying for an anti-spam service, which was a pain for a cash-strapped project 😡.
