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 well, they'd get instance-blocked; they'd really need disposable instances

@puellavulnerata @munin @sonya people on other instances have to follow you, otherwise the spam will just stay on your own instance :)

@m0n5t3r @munin @sonya @puellavulnerata Salmon allows you to poke people who don't follow you.

@clacke the initial discussion was about seo spam; yes, you can spam someone's notifications, but normally the notifications page should be private and would be useless for that kind of thing @puellavulnerata @munin @sonya

@m0n5t3r @munin @sonya @puellavulnerata Yeah, SEO spam is the most useful, but I still get spam in my mail inbox, or at least attempts at getting spam in there.
