It may be prudent to restrict new registrations or require admin approval on new accounts

If we're being brigaded (that the correct term?) doing so may be less work/stress than waiting to get a hold of someone. Can Lemmy do such a thing? We do have precedent for this with toobnix.

In addition, @SDF if your plate is full I'm sure many of us, myself included, would be happy to help manage the instance.

Cheers
