I’m looking for a little help about dealing with the seemingly mass attack of Russian bots. What's the best way of handling this?

I report this Russian propaganda as 'Something Else' and bookmark a post, so that I can later see if the account is still running, then I block the account. I also leave the checkbox on, for the server itself to receive my report

Many accounts are not suspended

Thank you for the reply Hannah.

I'm really just wanting to know the best way of dealing with this. As the fedi grows, it becomes more attractive to the baddies and ideally, the sooner we react, the better. I shall contact via email.

@gsymon @haubles The best way is to keep reporting them  

These days there are a LOT indeed and they keep coming it seems

We're trying to hammer them as fast as possible

Thanks Stux. I know I chose a great server back in the day. 😊

What should I do when I come across a server like tsst ? Is there a way to forward/report it? It might save a lot of time, if the offending server was blocked at server level... or ... do you already check them out??
