@dansup went to check it out and it's just bots spamming propaganda. Couldn't find a single organic post. Do you think fedidb should have a ignore list of "servers" like this?

@wraptile We have an ignore list, what instance was that?

@dansup pravda.me - looking at their user list they definitely don't have 1000 users let alone 100 000.

@dansup I guarantee you that any instance with open registration today is getting thousands of bot accounts. We had to turn on verification.

Curious, why would that be the case? Is Mastodon suddenly more attractive to bots?

@gpollara @dansup Yes. 12m users, it's a viable market for spam and propaganda.

What is the difference between a server and a project server?
