 Approval is now required for signup on urbanists.social. Unfortunately I've woken up every day to about 5-10 spam accounts joining, and trying to beat them back has been incredibly annoying.

No reason required for joining, but manual approval is needed just to limit the reach of the spam. 
 @eaf26a1a if you set it to auto approve it would probably still fend off spam, since they would use other instances instead
