To combat the anti-Semitic brigades over the last few days, we've made it so that new users have to fill out a registration application before they can join here. (lemmy.ml)

This should help us cut down on the trolls. We recommend other instances do the same, because they will likely be targeted also.

I apologize for all their gore-posts as well, no one should have to see that. We'll try to look for more admins from different time-zones as well to get them faster.

The two other possibilities we have currently as options, are turning on required email verification, and as a last resort, closing signups. I personally would rather not do either, but they are options.

Many thanks to @[email protected] and @[email protected] for banning those trolls.

How many admins do y'all have? I'd be lying if I said I agreed with y'all's moderation stances, but I'm surprised at how slow action to some of the posts, users, and communities is
