   Alas, the Mastodon spam wave found my instance. Anything I can do aside from turning off notifications?

     @filippo We are also working on disabling open registrations if no admin/mod had any activity in the last week: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/29318

     @filippo This will be changed in the next version.

     Tim Chambers repeated this.

     Why is the Mastodon default to allow open registration, anyway? It should be a heavily discouraged setting, with moderated signups being the default.

     If the moderation team can't keep up with registration requests surely they can't moderate those accounts either.

     We've seen this before with open SMTP relays.

     Thanks for the scripts, but I’m on @mastohost and anyway I can’t run a script every time I want to check notifications.

     Turned on the @ivory filter (which got two false positives) and turned off push notifications 🤷♂️
