       Has any other #Gitea administrator experienced a spike of spam accounts in the past 24h?Common patterns:1. All the spam accounts have a @gmail.com account, usually with somename12345 as a username template.2. They all have their email address verified, but never signed in, nor have any other activities on the website.3. They all include some spam links in their description.I don't want to implement reCAPTCHA on the platypush.tech instance because I care both about accessibility and having a true tracking-free environment, but manually inspecting hundreds of accounts on weekends instead of dedicating that time to my family is definitely not sustinable.The other alternative I have in mind (delete accounts if they haven't been verified in 3 days, or if they are verified but they have never logged in within 3 days) may mitigate the problem, but it could also remove legitimate accounts.I'm open to ideas.

       @blacklight@social.platypush.tech from my experience with similar (but not identical, fwiw) spam registrations on my gitlab, recaptcha will not stop them

       @blacklight You might want to take a look at mCaptcha. Gitea recently got support for it (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/20458) but it's not available in a stable release yet.
