Does mastodon dot cloud still have a massive unregulated spam problem? I silenced that instance a couple years back because it seemed like they were just not doing anything to address it. But I'm seeing legitimate new fedi users pop up over there now...

I signed up in at mastodon dot cloud in April 2017 (via metafilter.com/166112/A-tweet-) but haven't been there in ages.

I haven't seen this instance on any any blocklists, and have never used a different instance, but my local feed has a lot of spam in it. I just...assumed that was the way it was.

No meaningful CoC, now that I look, and googling finds some wilw issues in 2018 and instance ownership changing hands, but not a lot of 'good' there. Ooh, a good opportunity to test migration.

@darius We haven't seen anything untoward from that direction, for what it's worth.

@darius Speaking selfishly (as a user of mastodon dot social who is blocked by some instances because m.s is too lightly moderated, and finds this mildly annoying) I wonder if there should be some Larger solution to this problem, like a shared-across-several-servers/group-moderated allow-list of "trustworthy users from lax instances" or something
