As a volunteer mastodon admin I HAVE to balance growing a community with managing my time.
One way this comes up is new account registrations. Approval or Open is the eternal battle I see happen. I hate it.
I want open registration but not loose my life to battling new account spam.
So here is a screenshot of the tool I built. It checks new accounts and grades them and then silences or bans them based on 54 different properties. It's not perfect but seems to work for me.

@nprofile…44dh I feel very similar and have gone down a similar path recently. For me I've found it does very little wrong for the apps I am trying to make and I am more eager to press 2 because I enjoy the outcome and testing that outcome more then have control over the code.
I've been calling myself a self loathing AI user but I'm in the process of building 5 or 6 apps and tools I have wanted over the years but never found the effort to do.

Bend it like Beckham is one of my all time favorite movies. I would watch a sequel in a heartbeat.
The original cast knows it in the works. keira says there should be a sequel in 2018. The OG cast all know it's in the works.
Emma Hayes is somehow involved??

According to Jim Schulz, the director of governmental and public affairs for the New Jersey Dental Association, we rank 49th out of the 50 states when it comes to the percentage of population consuming fluoridated water. Only Hawaii has less."
