There’s been a general decline in the quality of accounts on mastodon.social over the last few months. I have my alt over there and as it follows fewer accounts I get far more spam, disinformation, abuse, right wing spew, porn, and other nonsense. It’s a lot like vanilla X accounts.

But there’s been a large uptick in those sorts of accounts/posts in the last week.

If you create a new account over there, you’ll see what I mean.

Now some of this might be the admins fault on the moderation front, but I do feel like they’re being targeted as they’re the largest instance. Possibly a concerted effort?
