We notice the massive amount of spam accounts and are working on the issue!
@stux Defederating all mega servers?
@stux you mean I haven't won bitcoin 😭
@stux thank you. Will report and block any accounts I see pop up.
@stux Yeap, they are overall on Mastodon. The plague literally started today.

@stux

Limit mastodon.social for a while 🤔

Ok folks, limiting mastodon.social until they sort out the spammers. It won't affect any of your follows or followers, it only limits folks who don't follow any of us from interacting here, and it's easily reversable once this spam wave is over.

@stux thanks. I reported a few if it helps.

@stux I got a notice from Mas.to as well.

"Announcement
We have temporarily silenced mastodon.social, their admins are working to mitigate the attack. There is no need to report these crypto spam direct messages."

I got one and reported it, but now know not to report it.

@stux spamming is annoying but demonstrates that the Fedivers is not a small player
@stux I haven't tooted in months. Yesterday I did and had 5 bot follows instantly. No worries though. I just block them
@stux Until then, here's what mastodon.ml users suggest to do (on user level) (Russian language alert!)
https://mastodon.ml/@th3rdsergeevich/110310707343515149
Briefly: if you received an offer to claim some bitcoins, DO NOT click ANY links, report and block the user. It's also recommended to block the whole offender's instance (on user level) until situation is resolved.

@stux

Because of course you are! Thank you, stux!

@stux Many Thanks for time and patience!!!! 🙏

@stux

It was great watching them disappear. Thanks for all you do.
