Probably a dumb question, but I have to report pretty much the same post (some website-link + some mentioned usernames, but always sent from different instances) multiple times a day.
The weird thing is, that this happens only here in this community, and not in any else I have subscribed to.
Is this some targeted attack, because due to the self hosting, we’re a more valuable victims, or is it just due to time shift because the mods are in a different time zone and asleep when we report the posts?
I think the latter one isn’t the case, since there are many active moderators here :)
Is there something we can do about it?
My guess is they get @'s from the federated timelines. If so it takes a follow or mention from the vulnerable attacked instance for the spamming bot to add it to the mentions they do. I don’t think they just decided to go against this community.
