Front-End Moderators

There's a spam account that keeps popping up from different servers, with different handles – but the name and picture are always the same.

We've been suspending them daily for the last while. Feel free to block and report.

Some (but not all) of us are getting hit by a (fediverse-wide) wave of spam, and there are no signs of it slowing down.

The spam takes advantage of a current weakness in the fediverse:

- There are many small (sometimes abandoned) servers with open registration
- We can't preemptively block servers we don't know about
- There's no automated spam detection
- None of the spamming accounts are on front-end.social, so there's little we can do.

But we're trying to stay on top of what we *can* do…

We removed the custom styles for image alt text and private mentions, now that Mastodon provides both. 🥳
