Somehow they circumvented manual registration approval. I&#39;ve turned on Captchas (much as I hate them) for new member requests in the hopes that will stop the bots. They must have discovered a registration bypass bug.<br/><br/>Thanks to IFTAS SW-ISAC for noting and reporting the bots. 2026-05-02T17:22:00Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsq3amz52calk9ynrz6g3w4dxmgw5fvuyv54zwcpgxcyyy9p46qz3czyrnrt70hzt6fdzev4vdxqkt4mzjg8u7plyrgakrys4ln9j27am6vv28rzpv It’s so unsettling watching our 250 year-old democracy decay into dictatorship while the most disruptive technology since steam power is evolving at superhuman speed. It’s like watching a locomotive barrel headlong into a tornado.
