As an aside, I'm clearly going to have to write something up about Mastodon's handling of abuse, which I need to investigate properly. Does anybody have resources they like? People to talk to? Incidents to examine?

There were several good sessions about Mastodon/ the Fediverse at MozFest. Maybe review the schedule for session organizers and presenters?

I myself can say about the recent incident with pawoo where spambots with CP on their avatars were created but I didn't save any evidence before my instance admin blocked bots about that because of shock it made me experience. It looked like these were bots made by someone who also wanted people to block pawoo instance, if that is the case, It was seemingly sucessfull
