kbin.social is being overrun with spammers. Can we disable registrations on this instance so they can’t keep creating new accounts? Every day I log on, I have to spend the first 20-30 minutes, reporting and blocking a bunch of new accounts.
Here are some that were just created today:

Why don’t automated spam systems use them then? Its easy for an individual but its not super automately like google. At least at my alma matter its not.
I think you’re thinking 4 year college, not 2 years. It takes a lot of effort and money to apply to a 4 year school. It takes like 5 minutes to apply at your local community college online and get a .edu email address, and it’s free.
Using .edu as some sort of validation is a terrible idea because it’s something anyone can get with just a few minutes of work.
