Public Notice

Lots of reports of crypto spam attacks coming in from multiple instances today.

Seems like the bad guys are getting kinda worried about Mastodon.

Instance admins are taking this very seriously and working hard to fend off the attacks.

What can you do? If you see a crypto scam post, don't engage with it. It's just a bot anyway. If you block and report the post it will help administrators isolate the attacker account.

We got this!

I've been reticent to hit the report button – especially if the post is more than an hour old – because I don't want to contribute to a deluge of reports to a given site-admin. I mean, do the reports go to the reporter's site-admin or the site-admin of the account being reported?
@ferricoxide @mastodonmigration Reporting ASAP gives admins the chance to stop a flood ASAP.
