   @Chris is anyone keeping a list of abandoned servers?

     As suspected. The spam is coming from instances where their irresponsible owner/admin isn't an active user anymore. Basically abandoned instances, that just let their door wide open for free registrations without approval. Some of the owners are being contacted when no response within the next 48 hours I will defederate the instances in question. #CosmicNation #Spam #Moderation #Administration #Mastodon #Fediverse

     Some of our Mastodon users are receiving spam today. I'm doing analyzes while suspending the reported accounts. Of course, this spam is coming from instances allowing users to create free accounts and without an approval process. It's just the way it is. If the instance is insignificant we defederate from the instance.
