Welp, just got my first "hello, I hope we can be friends"-type come on private message via mastodon. Instant block for the user, whose name was of the form four letters followed by eight random numbers—I mean hello, this isn't Discord?
But I suspect it's a harbinger of the bigger instances getting overloaded by spammers. Again. In this case, not the crypto bros but the dating scammers.
