According to https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1895#issuecomment-1628318236 and https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/1897, the attack vector afflicting lemmy (dot) world is from the use of custom emojis. MaiionChat does not use and never planned to use custom emojis.
Adding on, another big instance, lemmy (dot) fmhy (dot) ml seems to be down as of writing this. I did not dig around to see if it was voluntary like beehaw (dot) org. Without knowing if malicious intent was involved, I backed up the MaiionChat database onto an encrypted cold storage drive off site as a precautionary measure. Even if malicious intent was not involved, having backups/redundancy is good data practice.
Adding lemmy.blahaj.zone to the temporary block list. After viewing the link, to their site, it seems the admins have taken their site down to investigate.

Will leave this pinned in this community until the next version is available and I can test it in a virtual environment. I also wish to welcome and say thanks to the 2 new users who signed up. 🫡
Update 06/24/2023
As of writing this, 120 additional spam accounts were purged from the database. Rapid sign up frequencies with unusually long strings appended to the end of a common name were utilized once again. Until captchas return in a future version of Lemmy, an undisclosed and much lower registration rate limit will remain in effect to easily identify these bots. The only bot operating from this instance currently should be the MaiionPostBot which takes posts from Reddit and posts them here.
Registration remains open for any legititmately interested people.Edit: Due to the spam accounts consistently making accounts at every half hour mark, new account registrations will be approved manually. This will be temporary until captchas are reimplemented. For now, applicants must explain in a sentence with at least 10 words why they want to join.
