    From the article they said smaller unattended instances were the primary target. So you might not have been one of the instances targeted, and if you don’t have open registration and/or have captcha on then it wouldn’t be an issue either.

    • They targeted smaller unattended mastodon and misskey instances… to create accounts there and post their spam all over the place including larger instances and lemmy.
      Several hundred posts were removed since then.

      The spam was still an issue period. It hit every instance regardless of what you’re saying.

          It was a minor inconvenience. Pathetic. You’re speaking from a point of view of not understanding that we’re all connected.
