On one hand having to blast spammers is annoying.

 On the other hand it does mean that a precious ad-free zone badly wants to be penetrated precisely because it is rare and valuable in this world and we own it. Let’s keep defending it. Thanks to members for issuing reports, thanks to admins for forwarding them to the attacked sources. Together we will defeat the pernicious pollution of #cryptospam

@profcarroll what are the means for reporting and forwarding?

@profcarroll

The next version of Mastodon will finally include a captcha for signing up 👍

@TCMuffin I’ve been waiting for something like this before even considering opening my instance up for unscreened registration.

@profcarroll

Absolutely right 👍

I’m a mod on toot.wales and our admin keeps unscreened registration off because of being inundated with spam registrations the second we stop screening 🫣

@profcarroll Wait a sec. Is Drake in Unicode?
