How do we feel about https://newsmast.community?
It represents itself as a UK-based charitable nonprofit. Its main activity seems to be subscribing to a ton of Fediverse hashtags, then rapidly boosting posts made to them.
As such, my only relationship with its myriad accounts is disappointment: “Oh, a boost already! Oh, you again.” They tend to have fewer than 100 followers.
These interactions feel spammy, even if made in good faith, and I wonder if it needs moderation. WDYT? #MastoAdmin
