If there’s really 47K new users here then I’m sure all of you will upvote my pic of the Sepulveda Pass at The Getty.
Up to 65k accounts, on an instance with only 3 active users. Smells fishy.
Hey @windocean@oceanbreeze.earth you might want to delete those dormant accounts created June 18-25 in case they someday become spam bots. See https://lemmy.ninja/post/30492.
Hello,
Thanks for sending this! Having registrations open was a mistake, but I wasn’t sure how to fix without nuking everything. This helps quite a bit!
Glad I could help! I hope it works.
I think if you want a real count of the community it’s best to look at the Communities page. It seems like there is either a bug in the reporting due to integration with other Lemmy instances or someone wrote a script that is taking advantage of open registration.
It’s the latter, fediverse observer shows 65K users here practically overnight
For now, I turned off open registration.
