   I’m close to fediblocking momostr.pink because there is one annoying person making reply guy bots just cloning messages and they’ve made multiple accounts to do it #fediblockmeta #mastoadmin

     I looked around at some accounts and people there are tired of the replyguy spam accounts, also. There seems to be an issue right now with them.

     @paul @chiefgyk3d it's been going on there a LOT longer than the past few days we've been directly effected by the issue.

     The very fact that we're getting it is a testament to how bad it is there. The entire Fediverse is only a small handful of 695 relays so if we're getting it a ton like we have been, it's "oh, so much worse" than here...😬

     I hope they're working really hard. I don't wanna see the entire network be massively blocked again.

     There's other bridges that are already on major blocklists because of different issues like hate speech and harassment.

     I have most of them blocked already because of trolls. It seems like the wild, wild west.

     @paul @chiefgyk3d pretty much, yeah.🤦♂️

     I have some good people that I am friends with there, so I am very hesitant to block the bridges. I definitely see why most would, though. I'm just giving extra patience because of my personal situation.

     There are also good devs working within the protocol, so I have high hopes that they can figure this spam part out. They won't figure out the hate speech and trolls. That comes with the nature of a platform where there's no authority or moderation of much kind.
