@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Out of curiosity, in the sign up process is there a way to split the difference where registrations are manually reviewed, but the "write a bit about yourself" blurb can be removed?
I see the current issue being that the platform apparently lacks the tooling to automatically filter account creation using obvious hate speech, and bad actors are abusing open registrations. Until we have automated solutions for that, manual review becomes more necessary. But most users likely find an application essay for account creation an unusual, if not impassible hurdle.
Can the process be tweaked so it's clear the application will be reviewed (hopefully in a timely manner), without having the user provide a justification?

Yes, the admin can set it so that there's no question but the application has to be manually approved (sort of the same way follow requests work for users following users).
That's a good point, I'm not sure how this affects spammers, but it would prevent people signing up with nasty usernames etc.
