@favus Heh, cool. I've never understood this nail thing, but a bunch of my coworkers also have variously colored nails. Kinda looks cool I suppose. I scratch my nails way too much, to get this result would be impossible for me.
@rdaily I don't even have any to share! 😋
@SpinozasHeresy Mmm, is there a word joke I'm missing here?
@unbalancedChaos If the spammers are from other servers (so not from here) it's not much we can do about. You can try checking that server's rules and see if this is allowed. If not, you can try reporting them to their admin so they can take action.
If I visit mastodon.top, they seem to be a French instance, and their local timeline seems normal enough. I don't know French, but pulling their server rules through a translator shows me that they don't allow spammers, and bots are allowed max 1 toot per hour. So I guess you could try reporting them to their admin.
At the problematic user's toot or profile page, you can click on the triple dots icon to find the report feature. Be sure to include their admin in the report.
We at qoto.org can't do much about other server's users. Thankfully everybody got blocking/muting tools at their disposal and if a server as a whole is really that troublesome, you can block the whole server. :)
@unbalancedChaos They are everywhere. If their instance (server) is full of this stuff, you can just block their whole server.
If you see a spammer on here (qoto.org), please report it. We try to get rid of them as soon as we spot them.
@TheOldGuy Take care.
@javifields That's a nice view.
@acjay Heh, without watching all that, what experience would that be? ;)
@acjay Didn't we have around 1000 active instances back then? Looks like that's at least quadrupled. Neat.
@johan Subtle, but cute. :)
@jaysonmassey I thought that was normal, to research who the hell you're voting for?
@rdaily Outch... 😬
@szescstopni Is there an international snake day? Should wait until then. ;)
@Einhjeriar We try not to, either... especially not after the last debacle, heh. It's pretty calm right now, I enjoy our timeline full of geeks, so that's that.
@Einhjeriar Some people might feel that as they can't get in touch with specific people?
I either suggest moving, convincing them to move, or creating an alt account. Not much we can do about it heh.
@SpinozasHeresy For government devices I can see this as a security threat. For the rest it's just a potential invasion on your privacy and your braincells.
@Einhjeriar oh jeez, I know the feel. Qoto gets blocked for the silliest stuff too.
Main account is now on @trinsec
I've resigned as moderator on Qoto.org since 29-aug-2023.
This one is now a backup account, my activities on Qoto will be low.

Used to be on another mastodon server regularly, but it's been inaccessible since November 2020. So I've decided to join Qoto instead! I like the features this server has to offer.
