The captcha seems to be protecting the bigger, older instances, it’s all new instances that you’ve never heard of that randomly have 10k+ bot accounts.
If you scroll to the list of servers and sort by total users, you can see dozens of ghost servers with thousands of accounts and like 10 active users. Alternatively, leave it on the default sorting to see all of the servers that actually have activity.
Should be pretty easy to defederate those instances if the bots start causing problems.
