Massive spam account wave? (geddit.social)

Stux from geddit.social think that the massive recent wave of ~100k new Lemmy accounts is likely mostly spammers. Captchas suck, but are they better than the alternative?

Now there's an open issue to bring them back :)

Great! Have you also commented on it? Have others here who are reading this and also concerned about this issue commenting on it?

Right now I think the Devs need to see how much impact they're creating here and with how little people are weighing in, I really don't think they're fully understanding the implications.

Just because an issue exists means NOTHING. It's a ticket, a work item, something that could choose to be discarded.

Additionally, just because the issue exists makes no guarantee that we'll retain Captcha functionality in v0.18.
