Things that Mastodon spam accounts following me have put in their profiles today:

• "Passionate crypto trader, let's vibe"
• "Full Stack Digital Marketer Consultant"

What a world.

@jwz Whenever I hear "Full stack XYZ" my first thoughts are always that one more push will cause them to crash and burn.

@jwz I'm considering adding "let's vibe" to my own resume after reading this ;-) Hilarious, love it. Totally late 90s kitsch.

@cazabon I wonder how the admins deal with these when I report them as spam, since it's pretty contextual. "Digital Marketing Consultant" creates a Mastodon account? Sure, could be legit. But then they hit follow on "jwz"? Absolutely 100% a spammer.

Offering my services to the mastodon.social team as a spam honeypot. If a new account follows "jwz" and exactly 39 other accounts, just go ahead and ban them and blackhole their IP. I won't mind.
