There has been a big spike in growth over the last 2 days, and some rather suspicious new instances appeared out of nowhere with thousands of new users, even though there is close to no activity in any of them.
Could all those be bots? Would it be smart to block those instances preemptively?

    I’m interested to see how instances will deal with spam accounts. Blocking the obvious ones seems like a good idea. What about the bigger instances with both legit users and spam accounts? How would you go about weeding out the spam?
