Over the past week or so there has been a serious spam problem hitting mastodon and rest of the fediverse especially misskey over on the japanese side of things and the story behind it is absolutely wild.

        Sure, but when the first claim comes from a sensationalist youtuber, its claim to veracity sort of loses weight.

      Lol, if you think that absolutely open sign ups on instances isn’t a problem, then thanks for advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions

        Nice strawman argument, was that what I said? Nope.

        Also, “advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions”? Go easy on the thesaurus, kid.

          Go easy on the thesaurus, kid.

          Always the hallmark of a real contender. Oh, did I say “hallmark”? Hope that doesn’t cause you to stumble. “Stumble” means to trip while walking; in this case it’s a metaphor for thinking.

          Hope that was clear enough for you.

          Nice strawman argument

          Huh. Considering the primary point of the video was how open signups are bad, I don’t know why you contradicted your comment on the other thread and said this video has no valid point.

          So nice self-contradiction I guess?
