Comment on How can we stop bots from dominating lemmy?
Wrongdoer4094@lemmy.world 6 days agoI am genuinely curious what this “by approval” means. Are administrators really checking really deep into each signup? Or are they just clicking approve and hoping bad actors to not wait for approval?

It will vary. You’d have to ask each instance admin, but some will take steps to check each signup or follow up with questions. They control their server, so I should think that if they bother to limit signups like that, they’re checking each one to some degree.
Otherwise, what’s the point if you’re just going to blindly approve everything anyway?
