Users and friends, filtering hashtag 診断メーカー works to keep the current wave of spam out of your timeline, mentions, etc, as this example shows.

Over 4.4K in the last 24-hours. I know many admins have been combating it all night to keep it out of your timeline.

Might not be a bad idea to set the filter up while #MastoAdmin's combat the problems.

If you're not curious, hide completely instead of just a warning as shown in the red circle..

    @GhostOnTheHalfShell It's Shindan Maker, which is maybe the most popular tool/hashtag game on japanese social media. https://en.shindanmaker.com/

    Good post and comments re the latest #Spam attacks on #mastodon ⬆️

    That tag is up to 4700 spam messages just since I posted this 25 minutes ago.

    I edited the hashtag in the admin section, and I found other tags being used.

    Thanks to @trendless for reminding me I can do more than just not let tags trend.

    3/ It appears the spammers have caught on that it is suggested to mute and filter the hashtags they were using and posting spam without a tag now.

    It is still a could idea to filter the known tags, like the ones in this thread.

    kinyutaka,

    @paul the problem is getting that filter set up. I'm partially responding to this so I can get back to it on my PC, where I can set the filter up. There's no easy way to do it with @megalodon

    Hint, hint, Meg. We need filtering options on the app.

    In a pinch, try to setup a filter up using the native mobile PWA. Just log in at your instance. It should give you the mobile view.

    trendless,

    @paul I've also seen this one: 黒猫サーバー

    @trendless

    Yeah. There are a few. Like 荒らし共栄圏 with 111, or around 1.1K spam posts.

    I'm adding what pops up in my feed, working on the big offenders first.

    I'll add the one you mentioned now to my filter. thanks

    trendless,

    @paul np, thank you -- we've not seen much of it, so this helped me track it down.

    I'm also curious if deselecting this helps:

    On the admin side, I think it does. I think it lets them not be clickable, at the least.
