Mastodon would benefit from somewhat better moderation/spam addressing tools. Most of what exists now seems to be geared towards dealing with problematic individuals, not with "there's a thousand automated accounts posting tens of thousands of mentions in minutes".

Holy shit, waking up to a spambot flood. Luckily most of the spam accounts were from just several domains, so added some domain blocks, and now close to 1000 spambots should be suspended. But geez.
