@j2bryson @Archieinrye @jaz @lilianedwards @mathver very easy to both silence instances (people can still choose to follow individuals on them and boost them, but normally they won’t get stuff from those instances) and suspend them (prevent federation). users can also exclude individual users or whole instances themselves. admins can also IP block to prevent abuse. open question about whether more advanced spamming strategies will emerge (eg spinning up instances), but one step at a time.
