@jerry@infosec.exchange @Viss@mastodon.social ever since i opened reg on this instance i have been getting 2-5 registrations per week with messages seemingly sourced from our about page from unverified emails. it's good to keep an eye open and manually filter.

@silhouette@dumbfuckingweb.site @Viss@mastodon.social I see all sorts of wacky stuff - that gets discarded. Quite a few of them are copying the contents of bios of other mastodon accounts and using that as the reason to join. I get a lot of “Infosec.exchange requires you to enter a reason to join. You need to enter something believable. Would you like help?” (Variations of that), and lately, it’s been very on point reasons “I work in IT and trying to get into cyber security” and so on. The latest wave is not really discernible based on the reason they provide.
