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?

You joke, but I wouldn't be opposed. Would make it hard to sign up for a non-local instance though.

But then, I'm also the guy who just spent 11 years on reddit with his real name. So clearly privacy has never been my deciding factor when choosing a social network.

That's the best approach to leaving footprints on the internet. Especially on social media. Assume everything is public.
