Mastodon Migration May 17, 2023

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!

@mastodonmigration it's pretty small scale, and this means we'll start seeing anti-spam measures begin development soon I hope. Expected, natural growing pain for a social network. I still remember getting phished on MySpace when I was younger.
