@anticomputer @cpbotha @carcosa @namilus @rudi @herve @efim @etenil @luishgh @bionicbabelfish @entilldaniel @ramin_hal9001 @RogerBW @dekkzz76 @chedi Thank you all for reporting that annoying spam coming from @Gargron 's Mastodon.social instance.

Nothing good came out of this instance yet and it seems to be the only one that has regular problems with spam attacks. But, as you might know, it is now the "default" instance. So the question is, is it worth considering defederation from the Mastodon's "default" instance or is it already too *big to fail*?

I really hope that @Gargron will soon implement strategies to prevent these wide spread spam attacks coming from his "default" instance. I can only encourage you to get in touch with Eugen and ask him to raise his attention to what is happening on his instances.
