Looks like spammers are already hitting pump.io. Just got followed by a generically-named account with a Russian name that keeps favoriting others' posts and comments and has some sort of a forum link in the bio.

Yeah, I've had a follower who offers to convert any trendy file format to any other for a while too.

Maybe we need a “Report as spam” button which would
  1. Drop the follower;
  2. Report their account to the admin of their instance;
  3. Give one poo-ey point to that very instance
After a while, we could just evolve some sort of distributed reputation for spammey Pump instances thanks to 3.

a fair bit gets into the firehose..

watch those registration forms! (on any platform where there are signup forms) .. make sure spambots are not signing up!

we need to make registration forms more difficult for spambots (of course without making them difficult for humans !)
