I think somehow that choosing @GossiTheDog
as one of your initial test cases for a 419 spam could be seen as a poor choice.
But regardless of what's coming to that poor sucker, I reported him anyway.
At this point we all need to put some heavy pressure on mastodon.social.
Spam is ramping up and almost 100% of what I see is coming from there. If I personally block it, however, I'll lose a number of people I am following and really value.
This really is the Usenet spam story all over again.
