Where for others who's wondering what's going on with the spam-following from ua-fediland.de: they're being targetted by Russian propaganda bots/spam and while they're trying to keep on top of it, there's blackouts.
So, I don't think they deserve (necessarily) to be #fediblock but everyone should be aware of what's going on.
Update on ua-fediland.de : One of their moderators got back to my email. They're in Ukraine and can't moderate during the blackouts (understandably!), and the bots/spammers take advantage of the power outages (they're Russian) to sign up when they know they'll have maximum time to stay on the instance before getting moderated. I've suggested they might want to close sign ups before the outages to try to prevent it. Please also see the reply to this toot, however. #Fediblock
