I’m wanting to lock down site signups. I need your help on what question to put to applicants that can be used to vet their application.

Why do this? I expect that as lemmy matures and grows, it will gain the attention of trolls etc that we do not want here.

Also with Beehaw defederating some larger instances with open signups, I’d like to avoid the same fate.

    Can you have image-based questions? Something like “What comes to your mind on seeing this?”

    The barrier to entry is small because there’s no “right” answer (eg. Ned Kelly, Bushranger, Outlaw, Bloke with a gun and silly helmet, etc.) but it still goes a long way toward proving that there’s half a human on the other end.
