Mastodawn

I've had 20 sign ups to my Mastodon server in the past 48 hours, and 100% of them have been scammers, phishers and SEO spammers.

I make an effort to go in and suspend the accounts, nobody ever protests the suspension.

The fediverse is at a crossroads, the user base is dwindling and the new users are mostly just SEO spam accounts.

@GossiTheDog I have seen this trend on our small-medium population instance, too. Mostly since November(ish) of last year.

90% bots, 10% amazing humans.

I always smile when I finally get to accept a new (actual human) user to the instance, though.
