Should we require a registration application on signup at lemmy.ca? (self.main)

it was recommended for all instances. it would definitely cut down on spammers, but may discourage actual users from signing up too? just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on the matter.

if you're wondering who i am, i previously posted in the announcements community, but didn't realize that there aren't many subscribers there, i've taken over the hosting of lemmy.ca.

Better to watch the situation first. If your instance becomes a safe haven for trolls, it may be a good option.

As other instances enable it, your instance might become a preferred way for trolls to sign up.

Edit: I meant for trolls to sign up.

Just more moderation would be a suitable solution IMO.
