  • In my case, yes. I asked for a reason written in code (working or not). Since I intend to be a DevOps focused instance, there’s no excuse. Most humans would read the application and I don’t feel bad for denying based on this requirement.

    Also helps that after 8 of those bots apps, the message is very similar. If there was a human in that mix, they can dm me and ask for reconsideration.



  • for larger instances, this makes sense. For us smaller instances, just add a custom application requirement that isn’t about reddit. though i’ll be adding captcha too if they keep at it (every hour, 2 bots apply).

    I’ve seen bots trying to create accounts, it’s the same boring message about needing a new home because “random reason about reddit”. I’ll borrow a quote from Mr Samuel Jackson: “I don’t remember asking you a god damn thing about reddit”… and application is denied.
