kbin.social is being overrun with spammers. Can we disable registrations on this instance so they can’t keep creating new accounts? Every day I log on, I have to spend the first 20-30 minutes, reporting and blocking a bunch of new accounts.

Here are some that were just created today:

    Facebook doing edu (initially only one school) only was to target a specific audience. Google followed the exclusivity model to gain hype and encourage word of mouth.

    Neither did it for security reasons and both switched to open sign-ups once they reached a certain level of users.

      I did not work at either at levels where I would know their reasons but whatever their reasons it did make growth in the start slow and steady.
