@stefan@gardenstate.social been meaning to build something similar but to auto approve requests to join. Spammers have been doing a good job outing themselves. It just sucks that real people might be turned off.

@troy@opencoaster.net yeah. Sad to have a false positive. My instance gets so few real signups compared to bots it's hard for to me to tune it and also being 100% right is probably impossible. also sad is there is no API to approve requests to join. So you would have to do even more hacking to get that to work. There are many admin API gaps. I also wish an API for appeals but there are none.
