Last update for the moment - silenced as many inappropriate accounts on the global community stream as I could see today. If you see any accounts showing up there with inappropriate content, please send me a list so I can check 'em out.
Silencing them is something I am able to do on the back end, and it has no effect on anyone following those accounts. Just removes them from the global community stream.
Edit: And thanks for pointing out these items, too. I'm definitely interested in helping keep the spam noise down or gone, and keeping inappropriate content off the global community stream.
I don't believe is related with your server. It is just that I am receiving a lot of invitations from the same people to sign-up to a social network related with sex and dating.
But I already started to ignore and block these people...
It'll be really helpful if those accounts could be noted & sent my way, as it will help me determine if we have problematic nodes that I should consider dealing with.
For example, this past weekend there was a bit of a discussion among Friendica Admins about the "pawoo.net" node being blocked on various people's systems as they appear to not be maintaining their system and allowing all sorts of bot/spam traffic originate from it. Users on various systems have been complaining about them in particular.
So, I'm totally interested in any spam/bot account that tries to connect up - I see them myself, but if I don't hear from users with the details, it makes my decision about whether or not I can or should even begin to consider taking action against another system less informed.
@Adam Clark Actually that spam was from "pawoo.net", however I haven't though that you could be interested in those kind of feedback, next time I'll keep you posted!
