I am seriously considering blocking ALL new follows from mastodon.social for a while, because I've blocked/reported two or three porn spammers and two SEO/marketing spammer followers so far this morning and it's getting tedious.

About 80% of my new follows are currently from mastodon.social and about half of them are bots and spammers. DO NOT NEED.

@cstross Management of followers for large-follower-count people is a big failing. I made some suggestions which I'm sure will go ignored: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/29899
Since then, in self-defense, I wrote a script that mails me a daily digest of new followers, including their bio and most-recent post. That makes reporting the spammers take, like, one minute per morning.
If only this was built in.
