Does anyone else find it baffling that there's already SEO spam on here?

@sonya Hey, that means it's a success ;-)

@sonya Spammers are only going to try if they foresee enough ROI to make it worth their while, after all.

@munin in this case I doubt the spammer's judgment... but I suppose we'll see how it goes!

@sonya I tend to doubt the judgement of spammers in general, but they seem to have an idea that it's a good idea.

If they were intelligent at all, they'd spin up their own instances and take advantage of federation so they could fast-flux more effectively to evade blocks.

@munin @sonya This is my fear but not just with spam. I was imagining scenarios earlier this evening where members of an instance do brigading attacks on other instances and to evade blocks just create new instances.

@sonya @munin Sort of like flooding an IRC channel
