How visible is this to the average user? Just wondering because I have yet to see any spam at all in my Mastodon feeds.
Big thanks to the admins for being on top of it!
It’s leaking over into Lemmy as well from random instances. Anyone has been browsing All for the last few days has probably seen a couple specific URL-based post titles a few times a day for the last few days.
I saw a little of it. Then I saw the offending instances quickly banned. Then I saw a comment from the admin that they didn’t like having to implement bans of entire instances, but it became a necessity until admin of those offending instances took action.
I dunno, seems like it is working exactly as intended to me.
And it’s far better than a monolithic tech giant. Pointing at Mastodon and calling out spam is utterly silly when compared to the amount of spam on large services. This article reads like a hit piece sponsored by Xitter.

I saw zero spam and multiple posts talking about spam.
