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?

yeah, I think I might preemptively block them. a different admin has been trying to contact them to get them aware, and had a list of some that had deleted the accounts and implemented captchas or whatever.
