I plan to have people type an application to register but will deny creeps and obviously bots. What would be the best questions to ask/way to tell that someone is a creep with ill intentions?

I have some ideas, but I’m looking for more, actual ideas from the Lemmy community. Ex: (if I make it a 13+ instance) What age range do you plan on interacting with? What do you plan on talking about with these people? What do you plan to do here?

    At some point, the vetting process will end up being more time consuming than actively moderating the instance, it will still not be 100% effective.

      You still need to actively moderate the instance no matter what, but having registration applications makes it easier to weed out most of the bad stuff. It also stops a cross-instance spammer who makes multiple accounts with the same username from posting until they get approved (which I check when the application form is somewhat generic).
