I think this is something Lemmy should also consider. Open registration is an invitation to abuse an instance as a spam vector.

Oh, I assumed those were still considered "open".

In Lemmy terms they're at 'RequireApplication'. Open is completely open. PixelFed have automated something that lemmy.world did for feddit.nl a while ago - defederate from them until they changed their application policy.
