Somebody is putting a *lot* of work into creating spam Fedi accounts, you can spot them by a post containing “google.co./share.google?q=" and then a whole lot of random hashtags. Please report if you see one.

@timbray@cosocial.ca I had large influx of new account requests on my little instance I run. All the account names requested, which I rejected, were basically ~10 random characters. They also had some similarly sketchy looking emails. If you are running an instance, be on the lookout for these as well.

@timbray@cosocial.ca Yes, I got one of these this morning. But what's the point? How is someone expecting to make money from this activity?
