   uh oh i think i figured out where the spam is coming from: wss://relay.mostr.pub the Fediverse/Mastodon bridge. it appears that this bridge functions as a general purpose relay - not only a bridge - and the spam bots have discovered it. i can't have it enabled on Damus' global timeline if it's going to continue doing that. the bridge should probably not be accepting anything that isn't at least interacting with Fediverse users.

     @c708943ea349519dcf56b2a5c138fd9ed064ad65ddecae6394eabd87a62f1770 Few things make me as violently angry as scammers/spammers. It’s pure selfish destruction instead of creation, primarily with the aim of slowing down people who are building a better future. So yeah, I’m going to fight back.

     did you verify that they're spamming it?
