When people are shitting mastodon.social I want to say something about the long-term impact.

Finally! Finally the problem of mass spam bot attack got to the main server. I hope @Gargron and the team will find the technical solution that can be used at another smaller servers.

You know. It could be also another type of bots. They could post nazi symbolic and make instance fediblocked for Nazism, for example (like some trolls did with Ukrainian servers with only a few accounts). And small instances will have even more problems dealing with these attacks.
