    It’s become impossible to browse by new thanks to an army of spam bots.

    Every time I sort by new, there are several new groups of 3-5 new users posting to “random” all at once (so 12-15 spam posts for every 5-10 legit posts), I haven’t risked the click, but it’s a lot of promises of nudes or gold, or celebrity names, you know, bait.

    I’ll block and report one post from each user as spam, but that seems pointless when there’s a seemingly endless stream of them popping up.

    My feed sorted by new now, 8 of the 10 first posts are these bots:

    Is there anyway to stop this (beyond blocking m/random which I’ve now done but don’t want to)?
