IF YOU WERE BUILDING A MASTODON ADMIN APP WHAT WOULD YOU NAME IT???
As a volunteer mastodon admin I HAVE to balance growing a community with managing my time.
One way this comes up is new account registrations. Approval or Open is the eternal battle I see happen. I hate it.
I want open registration but not loose my life to battling new account spam.
So here is a screenshot of the tool I built. It checks new accounts and grades them and then silences or bans them based on 54 different properties. It's not perfect but seems to work for me.
