I seea the spam bots signed up some new accounts while i slept...

@freemo would be funny if mastodon supported being a HTTP tarpit. Like: in stead of banning the spam accounts, just make each connection for that account hang indefinately and do nothing when it times out. See how long it takes before they notice 😜

@hugot Or just silence the account without telling them :)

@freemo
Haha yeah that'll work too, does take up more storage though I imagine. But then again in the grand scheme of things that's probably a negligible amount 🤓
