The good news: we are now at 20 million accounts created on the network.

The bad news, it's #bpSpam

@iftas For now I've blocked containing "bp" in the username and it seems to work 100% for the past days

It's a little drastic but still, a temp solution

@stux I assume you mean the Mastodon username rules?

@iftas Exactly!

@stux heavy handed insofar as valid usernames with "bp" will be denied, but certainly will stop all the unnecessary emails going out

@stux @iftas Seems reasonable. Glitch-Social has recently merged this PR which does exactly that: https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/pull/3659
