    I don’t see how that could be done, the bot owners can always just spin up their own new instance where they control sign up requirements.

    Other instances can then defederate from the spam instance but they can quickly spin up a new one.

    Gonna be interesting to see how it’s solved.

        The fediverse is decentralized, anyone can start their own lemmy/kbin/mastodon/whatever server and make an account they just approve themselves.

        If you mean some kind of global approval then that destroys the whole point of the fediverse.
