Not to sound like a broken record, but you gotta watch out for suspicious instance growth
Spam accounts can give the impression that platforms or servers are growing faster than they are, and if not handled, can indicate a lack of proper moderation
A good rule of thumb is to use the MAU count, age of the instance, monthly post count and user count if you are in doubt
Spam is beneficial to devs but not users 😉
