    I’m surprised shutting down the community stopped the messages. I never thought that would work

      sh.itjust.works clamped the spam filter down so hard that there was awhile there where I couldn’t access the nicoled@feddit.org community from my account, I had to go separately. So somebody might still be trying and it’s getting nuked server side.

      It was such a weird scam, too.

        Oh that’s interesting. But the senders were from a variety of instances

          Yeah I think the sh.itjust.works admins blocked it pretty hard from showing up to internal accounts. Other folks from other instances could send, but us sh.itheads couldn’t receive. And they did their brain surgery with a backhoe.
