This a a problem once blocking individual spammers (by users) becomes a nuisance for users, right? Is it? I block maybe one spammer a month or so. Other people really suffer from lack of moderation on the big instance?

@toxomat check the replies to this thread and see how many people got that spam.

This thread is proof this is already a nuisance to users.

I did. There is hardly any report saying "I am getting a lot of spam and this bothers me". Not even your obs of a " spam wave" seems to be universally shared. Maybe those reports come from instances that have de-federated mine? It's hard. Your argument about big instances favoring spam is disputed. I don't know.

What I know is I am scared about a potential fragmentation of the Fediverse by a culture of defederation. That should be reserved for nazi-shitholes at the moment, imho.

@toxomat yes, I added a toot at the end of my thread that makes it clear I am not advocating for de-federation of m.s, and that de-federation is a nuclear option of absolute last resort.

All right, overlooked that. Also I looked in other corners and convinced myself of a spam wave occurring. It's going to be interesting what social mechanisms will be developed here ..
