@voxel the issue is that it doesn't impact just me, other members of the instance seems to be targetted by this, and I can't imagine that solution is to ask everyone on the instance to go private. @helveticablanc @voxel @neauoire Don't think the account can be made private, not in the twitter sense, or at least I don't see how. You can make changes to make your account less visible, though. A thing that might help is that you can block notifications from non-followers, or ppl you don't follow (in preferences>notifications). @neauoire not necessarily, but they do need to be pressured to deploy some kind of floodgate (e.g. CAPTCHA) and (provisional) defederation is one way to do that @neauoire I saw this recommendation here to add filters: https://meow.social/@Nomaxice/111949683722898263 that should be at least a temporary stopgap for users experiencing this |
@neauoire I'm really not seeing any, is it only impacting certain users? Maybe you can make your account private until it's over?
