    I run my own private instance. I’ve had 5 requests to join in the past 24 hours. 2 of them seemed legit, but the other 3 had suspiciously similar sentences. They all had somewhat incorrect wording. All mentioned “the current situation at Reddit” and also all used another word that I’m forgetting right this moment.

    I denied even the ones that seemed real because I’m not trying to host a bunch of randos and have to worry about moderation and stuff for them.
