rabbitea.rs appears to be just for spam accounts (aussie.zone)

Looking thru the modlog and rabbitea.rs seems to be getting a lot of bans for spam, I had a look at the instance and there is zero activity locally.

It's also possible that it could be related to this post, those with their own instances that had left signups open have been getting swamped with spam account creations.

So if you end up making your own personal instance, turn off auto-approve registration.

It certainly looks like it, seems there's a few dozen servers in the same boat. Someone's come up with an anti-spam solution here, might be worth considering until the platform has had time to deal with this officially?
