@cdarwin@c.imCalifornia will phase out paraquat after all manufacturers voluntarily canceled their registrations,
ending the state’s use of the powerful herbicide that is already banned in more than 60 countries.
State regulators found paraquat exposure may be tied to thyroid problems, birth defects and harm to birds,
while thousands of workers have sued over possible links to Parkinson’s disease.
California’s phaseout follows Vermont’s first-in-the-nation ban of the herbicide, a…
@elduvelle@neuromatch.socialOur server, with approved registrations (i.e. mods only accept new people after checking their "reasons to join") is still constantly getting spam account requests. (spam, for lack of a better word... maybe 'sleeper accounts'?)
These are not obviously immediate to the untrained eye, but it's been happening for months now and there are some clear patterns. Here's a list of what I've learned …

@selea@social.linux.pizzaI am sorry, but from now on I will start blocking domains that is being used for disposable email-services.
It is just to many bots trying to register using them.
I have seen maybe one real person for the last 3 month using them compared to almost thousands of spam registrations.
@pre@boing.worldSo the wave of spam-registrations I figured wouldn't really affect us here on the tiny server with registrations closed and clear instructions that only users who know us personally are welcome and we will check.
Turns out no. Our server has run out of email credits from sending lots of email-validation messages.
Hope everyone remembers their passwords, coz password-reset emails and notification emails and whatnot won't be going out for a little while.
All .jp addresses and about half of them bounced as not real email anyway.
Started 10am yesterday, not an hour gone by without some since.
Nothing even clicking those activation links I don't think, certainly nothing filling in the "So who do you know then?" form to create an account.
With email notifications not working, replies to moderation actions could be slower. Not that there's ever much really.
I've turned registration off entirely. Probably should be that way anyhow really here. If you want an account, ask someone who has one personally.
