Mastodon MigrationMay 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!

@CatherineRussell2 @mastodonmigration Just an invitation to join in - don't click on anything, just block & report. I've had one today - annoying but not dangerous unless you interact!
