A new wave of spam attacks has hit Mastodon. Previously, unwanted messages could be dealt with using content filters, but now the situation is much more complicated: spam posts now contain only images without text, making them difficult to filter. If an effective solution is not found, we risk soon being overwhelmed by a flood of spam in the fediverse.

This latest wave of spam here on Mastodon is seriously getting to be very frustrating to say the least.

I woke up and took a look at Mastodon about 45 minutes ago and I had to start my day by reporting 19 spam posts.

It's the same spam that's been going around for a week or so now that mass mentions people.

This latest wave of spam here on Mastodon has been pretty bad over the last 2 - 3 days.

I think I've personally reported close to 50 accounts so far and I'm still getting them as we speak.

There seems to be a spam attack on the Fediverse at the moment.

If you get spammed, report it by clicking ⋯ on the spam post and "Report..." so that your admin can take action.

⚠️ If you are an admin of a public server, you might want to switch on moderation for sign-ups right now. The spammers are apparently on servers where the admins have unmoderated sign-ups.

Muting posts containing these two domains seems to get rid of all the spam that has been plaguing me for the past few days. Just putting it out there in case it helps anyone in a similar situation.
