I have the application process enabled for people to join my instance, and I’ve gotten about 20 bots trying to join today when I had nobody trying to join for 5 days. I can tell because they are generic messages and I put a question in asking what 2+3 is and none of them have answered it at all, they just have a generic message.

Be careful out there, for all you small instance admins.

Setting up an instance would be more difficult too I assume

It’s honestly not too bad, only took about an hour after researching a couple of days. There’s an easy deploy script out there, that I don’t have a link for on my phone, that makes it really easy.
