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!
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.
