Just deleted over 800 users from my database that joined in the last few hours from obviously fake emails and botted usernames. Make sure to either close registration or have some sort of safety check in place because things are getting hairy out here.

    Cool. I think I’m going to give it a few days in case I deleted someone I didn’t want to. If I hear no complaints (I’m pretty sure I’m the only real local user on my instance anyway 😂) I’ll delete out the db. Thanks!

      No problem! Hopefully others that had this problem can fix their instance too. Since we don’t know when the spam accounts will become active and start posting or if that spam attack was just to mess with us.
