I’m going to leave signups open over the weekend, and hope that users liberally report any spam that they see. While I don’t love the idea of pushing the burden of moderation onto fediverse users, i honestly can’t keep an eye on the instance 24/7 and knowing that i’m backed by a series of (my own bots) that auto suspend shady accounts whenever a report comes in really helps me to sleep at night and not worry about yttrx getting defederated.

after a rush of suspended accounts i thought that the spammers have mostly moved on (so good!) and this morning i saw a notification of one last dormant spammer account getting busted by a good samaritan who reported it and my bot auto suspending it due to its high risk signup attributes 😎😎😎
