The long story short with the Mastodon spam woes this weekend is it’s a deliberate attack exploiting Fediverse and Mastodon issues.
They’re using Tor exit nodes and everything is automated. I think they can just keep running it, as there is no barrier to stop them.
To keep it in perspective, though, I don’t think it’s a big deal at present. People should just ignore it.
