Mastodon and forks allow banning the use of certain usernames at /admin/username_blocks – this will stop emails going out as the username cannot be chosen, but it will stop any and all usernames (including valid requests) containing “bp” – this should be considered a temporary measure.

@iftas I’ve solved it differently now: git.rollenspiel.monster/ansibl…

Since all requests have a fairly similar user agent "Python/3.10 aiohttp/3.14.3", I have started banning it via CrowdSec.

Interesting.
I'm also getting the agent "aiohttp" in my logs, but not all of the IPs are also trying to register users. Maybe this is just a scanner, and the bot that tries to register may not be running from the same IPs.
