Add mechanisms to reduce registration spam #15276

merged 6 commits into from Dec 10, 2020

  1. Add honeypot fields to limit non-specialized spam 

    Add two honeypot fields: a fake website input and a fake password confirmation
one. The label/placeholder/aria-label tells not to fill them, and they are
hidden in CSS, so legitimate users should not fall into these.

This should cut down on some non-Mastodon-specific spambots.
