Today I received an unprecedented 123 reports from twit.social users who had been targeted by crypto spam. The spam accounts all were from mastodon.social.

I've suspended all the spammers that you reported - thank you! - but now we're going to have to keep an eye on mastodon.social. I know it's the default Masto instance, but it's up to them to prevent the mass creation of spamming accounts.

Otherwise I may have to block the instance.

The urge of some folks to DEFEDERATE because an instance experiences an issue that could pretty easily happen to anyone with open registration, and which at worst provides a minor inconvenience to their users, is TOO DAMN HIGH.
