@dansup @pixelfed This is actually a huge issue across all social networks. I remember @th3j35t3r detected fake accounts created on #CounterSocial (https://counter.social) from hostile nations & spam farms last year according to memory.

Counter Social suspended the hostile/spam bots (using an algorithm I think) & had all of the accounts manually reviewed to make sure legit accounts were not deleted.

It’s a long & tedious process.
