So many of the absolute worst accounts I suspend should *never* have gotten past signup
If your username contains a slur, hate-speech, or a well-known troll or dogwhistle reference, then it is a failure of your moderators and administration if that account ever sees the light of day.
If someone walks into your instance doing a Nazi salute and you don't slam the door in their face *hard* then you've let your community down.
I'm looking at you mastodon.social, mas.to, vivaldi.net, ...

@alice the problem is that there are like 5 moderators taking care of these huge places. if i could pay money to have more moderators (good and qualified ones) come in and help moderate all the stuff we get over here in flagship-land, i ABSOLUTELY would. @MastodonEngineering you should consider setting up something like this and/or diverting more funds from your managed hosting program towards moderation

@GroupNebula563 a program for training and deputizing long-standing community members as mods and reporters would go a long way.

I was going to comment about that, but from https://pizza.enby.city/users/domo/statuses/115328690748595820 it would seem you can put the flagged user name choices under moderation so a human can check if it's an actual fash/troll or just an unfortunate Scunthorpe.

Automated singup was a mistake
-
automatic signups is only viable if you have a top notch moderation, which most of fedi instances doesn't have
-
Automatic singups is how you get cunts posting dox info out and responding true
