I have the application process enabled for people to join my instance, and I've gotten about 20 bots trying to join today when I had nobody trying to join for 5 days. I can tell because they are generic messages and I put a question in asking what 2+3 is and none of them have answered it at all, they just have a generic message.

Be careful out there, for all you small instance admins.

They'd get Fediblocked super quickly and then it's just a quick copy and paste by, you know, like, 5 guys that administer 90% of Lemmybin users and they're shut down.
