Askfedi. Is there an app or other tool to automagically mute toots with a given number of hashtags? Like the attached to avoid people who feel the need to slather irrelevant ones like SilentSunday on music videos for visibility?

@ton You're overthinking it, just report the account
@negative12dollarbill
I have reported toots like that but my instance and many others take no action. Saying it's technically not spam if it isn't commercial.
@ton @negative12dollarbill I would just block. I don’t see too many people abuse hashtags like this but I could be wrong.

@slims @ton

Report and a personal block would be good first step

We’ve definitely suspended hashtag spammer, especially when it is a sensitive hashtag 

@FlockOfCats @slims
Some popular hashtags are magnets for this kind of abuse and mastodon.social where many of them come from is useless at this afaict.
