this keeps getting touted but isn’t it a huge number of bots causing the rise?

This is just really disappointing and gross. Is there any way to not have bots absolutely everywhere?

I don't see how that could be done, the bot owners can always just spin up their own new instance where they control sign up requirements.

Other instances can then defederate from the spam instance but they can quickly spin up a new one.

Gonna be interesting to see how it's solved.

Require that membership in the Fediverse be approved?

The fediverse is decentralized, anyone can start their own lemmy/kbin/mastodon/whatever server and make an account they just approve themselves.

If you mean some kind of global approval then that destroys the whole point of the fediverse.
