   Just gonna say this right here,
   Mastodon.social is quickly becoming intolerable for many reasons.
   If you follow me, or even see this post, I highly advise changing instances. For your own sake, and for the sake of your federation with others.
   A lot of smaller instances and a lot of users have already started blocking mastodon.social because of its ineffective moderation at such great volume.
   The reason Fedi scales so well is being split up into smaller, manageable instances. Look into account migration, and find another instance, it’s the only course of action I can advise at this point

     @swansinflight @alfredohno also, isn't it good that the spammers are so intently focused on mastodon.social and not other instances? It gives the Mastodon development team lots of data to ensure the project gains better tools to prevent problems in the future, and means that smaller instances aren't having to react to rapid increases in load that they'd not normally expect.

     @thisismissem @alfredohno I am sick of playing what-a-mole.

     They should set sign up to appproval, spam problem would then be mostly fixed. Not a new concept. Reducing the "friction" of making it the default with open signups... asking for it 🤦♂️

     I just suspended for now, we would tolerate this from no other instance, so why should we from this one.
     Update: reduced to Limit now on top of report queue. Will monitor...

     @alfredohno is this a reaction to spam incidents? Because those are next to impossible to predict & taken care of very quickly once detected, the attacks are pretty sophisticated too from what I'm hearing
