Fedi admins, please switch off instant signups!
If you allow instant signups, you are opening your server to spammers and causing huge headaches for hundreds of other server admins who all have to block the spammer that has taken up residency on your server.
The latest wave of spammers are *all* on servers that have instant signups. Please switch them off!
Yes there is some extra work in approving signups, but it's a lot less work than dealing with spammers.

p.s. If you don't do this, people may end up blocking your server entirely just to stop the spam.
It's really not much work to approve signups. It's a lot less work than dealing with spammers on your server and the staining of your server's reputation.

@homegrown to demonstrate your point, there are spammers commenting on your post. Way to prove your point.
