I think it may be time to start discussing how much longer we can onesie-twosie deal with spam from mastodon.social.

#lawfedi and #lawyer or #legal adjacent folks that haven't hopped to a smaller instance and are still on the main one, please consider making a move. We've had more spam reports today than in the last 6 months combined.

It doesn't have to be to https://esq.social if you don't want to, but we'd of course be happy to have you.

@andrew @law I think I'm about ready to jump to a smaller instance.

I think its prudent, like I said I super don't want to jump the gun and defederate if the spam issue is going to be resolved -- but the scaling of an instance of that size concerns me.

Soon they'll be spending more on moderation than development for Mastodon itself.

@andrew @law It's been running a little slowly for me lately, too. I don't know if that's related...
Now I just need to figure out how to move all my stuff.

@AustinB @law

Moving followers and such is a cinch, your toots stay behind though unfortunately.
