Now, can we dogpile whoever's going to be running .social and tell them to lose the wide-open signup? Heck, maybe even write a PR to remove it from the code...

Let's not do that, there's just been a major leadership change and we need to see how they actually run things first! 🙂
Toni :mastodon:@FediTips@social.growyourown.services No no, esta todo visto ya, lo menos para mi, todo por la pasta.

Honza Javorek@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @stonebear2@hachyderm.io I'm not on Mastodon for long and I'm not on the .social instance. Since this is a conversation with 'Fedi Tips' who offers to provide explanations about Mastodon… 😀
may I ask what does 'the wide-open signup' refer to?
weekendr@honzajavorek@mastodonczech.cz @FediTips@social.growyourown.services @stonebear2@hachyderm.io I'd like to know as well.

I think they're referring to instantly-working signups, as these tend to be exploited by spammers.
Admins on Mastodon servers can choose to allow either instant signups or signups that have to be approved by a moderator before they work. Spammers all use servers that have instant signups.
