As you can see, there is a massive spam wave going on on Lemmey based instances.

This can be avoided by enabling CAPTCHA with signup and also LIMIT the registers per X seconds!

Currently the accounts are idle but this can change soon… Please take action NOW!

    @stux@geddit.social - We need to also share that as of next version Captcha’s will be removed entirely:

    Source - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2922

    Please, if you haven’t already, make your disapproval known on that discussion. Everyone reading this should go and let them know how dumb of a decision that is and to not release v0.18 without captcha support.

    tucson.social will not be upgrading to v.0.18 due to this and we will likely defederate with any instance that does upgrade.
