There is a huge bot attack in progress on Mastodon.

The new profiles are all named the same way, they have no profile picture, and they all follow exactly 39 other accounts.

I know how much my follower count normally grows, but throughout the last week, my follower count has risen at least twice as fast.

@Gargron do you have a way of deleting all these generated accounts in bulk? I estimate there are hundreds among my latest followers.

🚨 BOOST CHALLENGE! 🚨Ok #Fediverse and #Mastodon. If I tell my Canadian Member of Parliament, Gord Johns, that he will get 2000 followers within one week of creating a Mastodon account, will you make that happen?

I want him to be able to say when he stands in the House and presents the #e4769 petition for an official Fediverse server that he himself is the first Canadian MP to be on the Fediverse!

Boost for yes! I am going to show him this post! I'm counting on you, literally! 🔥 🙏 2️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ 🙏

update! @bonitazarrillo_mp is the first MP on the Fedi!

Wow, 600 followers in just 3 days! Thank you so much! 😀

It's nice to see how the recent events are finally opening people's eyes to the need for sovereignty, self-determination and independence from foreign countries and companies that are not good for us.

We remember a time when it was really hard to find alternatives to some of the big tech services we use today. But now in 2025, that's changed. There are so many now! So, be curious and give some of these European companies a chance!

Try new services, have fun exploring, and don't be afraid to give them some friendly feedback. Share your good experiences with your friends, family, and followers on social media - it can make a real difference!
