@KayFaraday @p

basic idea is blockbots usable as activitypub signal amplifier

input -> you click the block button
-> server needs to push messages out (im not positive now that i type this out if federation mandates pushing for all messages, but if tagging is involved like it usually is, then that is at least 2x amplification, if relays are involved then it gets much much larger)

so if you are generating a larger signal it turns it into a spam cannon you could use to clog up the originating server or send a ton of garbage to a single server in particular if you are involving multiple spambots
