   @oheso hey sorry that you're impacted that heavily by spam. I've started silencing repeatedly offending instances.

     @SolSoCoG Thank you. I understand that part of this is a time zone thing. They're hitting in the afternoon here, while you're still getting coffee.

     I appreciate your work, and I'll continue to report and block.

     @SolSoCoG I think temporarily muting repeatedly offending instances is unavoidable.

     My two cents on this is:

     This shouldn’t result in a permanent suspension of an instance unless the spamming issue persists on a subset of instances

     Solely relying on user reporting spam is not good enough. If a user received 2 spam messages, they will likely report them all. But if a user received 2000 spam messages in a day, it’s not realistic to expect anyone to report them all.

     @duncan1n1 I believe mastodon might be working on something in that direction.

     @SolSoCoG Update: I have given up on reporting the spam messages after receiving and reporting dozens of them daily for many days in a row. I will start to ignore them. I suspect most people are ignoring them now. We need an automated solution that doesn’t require user reporting the spam messages.
