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:

yeah, I spend more time downvoting a blocking spammers than anything else
I spend a lot of time downvoting and reporting and I’ve volunteered to co-mod the worst offending subs that I’m subnscribed to. It’s not clear that any of this has any effect.
At this point, it feels like a bit of a lost cause.
What we really need is more people stepping up to moderate.
Are there some key magazines that need it? I will step up, if only to play whack a mole as I understand it.
https://kbin.social/m/opensource is plastered with spam, that would be a good one to moderate.
