@jaz@toot.wales @mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @Nonilex@masto.ai Mastodons distributed nature limits the reach of the spam bots and distributed administration seems to deal with the issue more effectively, although it's still a huge problem.

@mike@thecanadian.social @mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @Nonilex@masto.ai yeh, In some ways I think they have no desire to be seen (although they do follow themselves across domains to help with federation) - but their goal is not to get into your feed, it's to get into LLM engines to subvert the LLM answers, and secondarily to get their slopaganda onto Bluesky via Mastodon (they were rebuffed in their early attempts on Bluesky directly, Mastodon is sort of a back door for them). So... good for my feed, bad for the web.
