@s8n@posting.lolicon.rocks @ew@social.ancreport.com Wasn't that the day the spam invasion happened?

@s8n@posting.lolicon.rocks What's her name?

@s8n@posting.lolicon.rocks @ew@social.ancreport.com @kino@springbo.cc I love this community.

Email confirmation has been enabled for this instance! No more spam accounts. 👍

@marielouise@sorcie.re [email protected] [email protected] @graf@poa.st I have no problem messing with databases directly. That's what the software does anyway and I'm smarter than the software! It looks like the real solution here is to set up email. I personally haven't delved into what makes it so difficult to do this on the servers we've been setting up and have delegated the investigation on this topic to one of my team members, but it looks like i'm going to have to get my hands dirty and figure it out myself.

[email protected] [email protected] @graf@poa.st That command worked perfectly. We might have a couple left over, but considering we started at 256 users before the attack it looks like we're good. I'll just go through and delete the deactivated users. Thanks a lot for your assistance.

[email protected] @graf@poa.st [email protected] Can you please elaborate on where this is to be run? Is this a script or terminal command?

@graf@poa.st [email protected] [email protected] This is why I love the fediverse. You guys are awesome.

@graf@poa.st Thanks a lot. I would love to get my hands on that script. Unfortunately, the problem with our instance is that our server cannot currently send out emails. I've been asking our server guy to handle this for quite some time, but it seems that real life factors have gotten in the way of him solving that problem. Thus, our server cannot enable email confirmation at signup. Do you know anything about how to get that to work in Matrix?

Everyone, Last night, this ANC Pleroma instance was attacked by a bot. The bot created countless accounts that it used to spam other instances. This caused some instances to block us. We are working on cleaning up the mess and rectifying the situation. Sorry to anyone who was affected by this.
