      Anyone else seeing a weird jump in junk signups today? I cleaned up a few obvious bots already, but it feels like they keep coming back every hour. Might just be a bad day, but it’s getting annoying. If anyone notices more of them, post the usernames here and I’ll keep an eye on it.

      Honestly, Yeah, seeing the same crap here too. Looks like a fresh wave of throwaway signups, same pattern as usual. I’ve been nuking the obvious ones but they keep crawling back. Annoying as hell. Personally,

      Yeah, same here. It’s that annoying “clean one batch, 20 more pop up” nonsense. Feels like they’re cycling through fresh accounts instead of reusing the old junk, which is always fun to deal with. I’ve seen this before when the signup form gets found by a bot swarm and they just hammer it all day. If you’ve got any rate limiting or email verification stuff half-baked, this is usually when it shows up. Not saying that’s the whole answer, just… it’s usually not random.
