Please. Captcha by default. Email domain filters. Auto-block federation from servers that don't respect. By default. Urgent.

I'm not really enthusiastic about email filters either, from a privacy standpoint. Plenty of companies that go harvest email addresses to link identities to activity.

If the CAPTCHA can't handle it, then it ain't doing its job.
