   FediDB.org will be unlisting Lemmy instances with excessive spam accounts and few MAU effective June 28th.

   If the unlisted instances do not remove spam accounts and still report inflated user counts a month later, they will be banned.

     @dansup why is #lemmy world so popular in comparison to lemmy ml?

     I have reconsidered this and will no longer be unlisting lemmy instances with large number of spam signups.

     Instead I'd like to explore a way to label potential spam instances in a way that doesn't exclude instances.

     @dansup maybe a flag of some kind that can sit near the instance name or something?

     like “Suspected Spam” or “Potential Spam”?
