@pieselpriemel Yes. But there is a finite number of these. Eventually they'll all either be defederated/limited, or just get lucky and not be used for spam.

The importance is not to add a (potentially ever-increasing) number of problematic servers to the network, so that this will eventually stop.

(also: one step at a time: given the calls for it and the current focus of the mastodon devs, it wouldn't surprise me if we'd see the option to only accept federation from servers that are reasonably up to date implemented in Mastodon sooner rather than later)
