One of these days, I plan to create my own Lemmy instance. What’s the best way to filter out weirdos during registration? (sh.itjust.works)

I plan to have people type an application to register but will deny creeps and obviously bots. What would be the best questions to ask/way to tell that someone is a creep with ill intentions?

I have some ideas, but I’m looking for more, actual ideas from the Lemmy community. Ex: (if I make it a 13+ instance) What age range do you plan on interacting with? What do you plan on talking about with these people? What do you plan to do here?

Not sure if it's still the case, but I recall my instance had a phrase hidden within the rules page that you had to find and include in your application.
