npub1yk67q98wp2s8asr3pdvkmdmmh3x4566fz55m5rlvwsu0dj62s72q804zz4 (npub1yk6…4zz4) Spam is and will always be a problem. I'm an instance admin and I suspect as more people move to Mastodon that more instances will be targeted. The best solution is to develop tools and to continue to fight spam the way we always has.
Defederating is a using a bazooka to kill a fly. Is spam annoying? Yes. At worst we may need to limit other instances who have spam waves temporarily until that instance gets it under control. We've had pretty good luck so far in dealing with it, and I trust the admins of mastodon.social to fix the issue and continue to keep us all informed.
As someone who's moderated forums since the late 90's spam will always ben an issue. We can't let spammers win and shut down conversation.
