It’s nowhere near the first spam wave - it’s just this one’s relatively high volume and concentrated on mastodon.social because they have poor moderation and open signups.

It’s nowhere near the first spam wave - it’s just this one is specific to mastodon.social, where open signups and lax moderation amplifies the effect.
