Both !infosec@kbin.social and !science@kbin.social are being spammed constantly with opioid ads and other non-sense.

It's quite annoying if you want to use the all-feed. I've blocked at least 6 spam accounts just today.

Just wanted to bring that to your attention. Thanks.

It looks like all the spam I've seen are from newly registered accounts. Perhaps this is something you've already considered, but would shutting off registration on kbin.social and pointing people to other instances until things are more manageable help?
