    By “or anything” do you mean no captcha or application as well? Because lemmy.ml and reddthat.com both make use of those.

    Having totally open sign-ups is risky, as most instances learned the hard way last summer.

    Unfortunately spammers and bots ruined that for a lot of people. I used to allow that but spammers created 10,000 accounts in a few minutes

      Yeah I’d love to not require email, but it’s just not an option

      Their method of stopping spam is to just manually review every new account. Make their mods lives a little better by putting something funny in the “why do you want to join” message. They don’t actually care why you’re joining they just want to know you’re not a bot.
