Ran across a pro-#nuclear power #spambot network over on the Birdsite. Curious who would be running or paying for that... 🤔

Bots and spam is a problem in social media sites along with email. It is one thing to 'limit' bots scraping data and posting, but how about actioning the reports when we identify _obvious_ spam accounts. Identified a large number and the basics behind each account is almost 100% the same. How hard is it to write a SPUFI to identify accounts with what I noted?

Folks, watch out for posts from #dogeai. It's a #spambot. Report it and block it each time you see it.

I think I have an idea when the doge spam bot "attack" happened...
but more seriously 729 accounts from 609 different IPs, they must have access to a botnet.

Lots of automated account creations from 49.156.75.30 with spammy content. #mastoadmin #Spambot #spam

Pues el #spambot @AzadeOzaltun me ha acabado bloqueando él 🤣

Es werden immer mehr Trollaccounts, die drüben auf #Twitter meine Posts liken.

Markiert #Putin.s Trollarmee so unliebsame Accounts, damit sie dann v #Elon eingeschränkt oder gesperrt werden können? Mit dem wohlfeilen Vorwand der #spambot Protektion?

Honi soit quy mal y pense.

I love how #fakeaccount / #spambot engagement attempts fall so completely flat on #mastodon !

It’s like having a small forklift roll up to you at a picnic and start mumbling something about cornhole… #nope

Sorry guys! Flurry of duplicated toots due to my phone telling me that my internet connection was poor. Seriously,I’m not a #spambot.

@leonido #Mißverständnisse kommen in den besten Familien vor – @mro@social.tchncs.de wurde damals vom #Admin @milan 'genuked', weil er dachte, das sei ein #Spambot. Persönlicher #Kontakt konnte daran auch nichts mehr ändern.

Funny when a 8000+ member #spambot network start sending out with misconfigured settings and bans itself automagically. Good riddance.

@makis Mi ankaŭ sed mi ne kredas, ke ili estas veraj sekvantoj! #spambot

Some #mastodon #instances deputize moderators to report and maybe suspend spam accounts -- fewer spambot accounts live past 48 hours on those instances. Does the #mastoadmin of this instance have a collection of moderators to report spam accounts? I ask as I've seen a Portuguese-language #spambot three weeks old with 191 toots.

I see new español accounts on mastodon.social with suspicious #spambot behavior, all sharing the same thirty hashtags.
At one #Mastodon instance reporting these types accounts created there is recommended, and are dealt with by appointed moderators and the admin. The moderators have a panel within Preferences for logging activity (thanks, developers).

Does mastodon.social have moderators? I won't ask for extra work for only one person &won't report if mastodon.social has no #moderators.
