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

Nothing to stop an instance that was set up just for spam from lying about it of course.

Yep it’s trivial to get a reverse proxy to modify the response to make it look like they don’t have open registration.
