[email protected] while this may help with the current issue (where people are just mass-regging accounts on existing instances), it won't help in the bigger sense of spam.
im not on fedi for very long, but i do know that a few times people would just spin up their own instance and spam from it. and combined with massregged domains it would be pretty much impossible to ban them without banning their server ip/subnet.
and even then it wouldn't help too much, because outbound requests could be proxied via numerous proxy providers, and inbound requests could be proxied as well e.g. via cloudflare
if someone *really* wanted to, the only real way to stop them is to gray/whitelist :neocat_woozy:
but luckily spamming fedi at such scale is just not profitable (yet)
