@saagar I don’t know what this is specifically prompted by but I have a problem with not referring to well-documented racist harassment of Black Mastodon users as “abuse”. Maybe the Fediverse didn’t have a spam problem until recently but it has had years and years of discussions about moderation.

@jrose @saagar Fediverse suddenly started getting exponentially more spam within the last day or so. Thread: cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog
