This morning I was forced to ban about 18 users for being obvious spambots. That deleted their content on my instance. Are they now banned on other instances, too? I’m just trying to figure out what the best process is for eliminating these spambots for good before they flood all of our feeds.
Having to play whack-a-mole banning on a per-instance basis if the account’s home instance admin isn’t cooperative isn’t exactly ideal, either.
Perhaps what we need is to implement some sort of happy medium, such as having instance bans be “votes” towards some threshold that, if met, would result in banning the account network-wide?
