I’ve been seeing a genre of post on #Mastodon where the poster just spams every popular hashtag they can think of, most clearly unrelated, paired with deliberately hateful memes and ugly remarks about how [slurs] should die and so on. Since they aren’t on my instance and I’m only seeing them from hashtag abuse, what happens when I report them? Who does the report even go to— my admins or theirs? And does it do any good if they can keep reaching everyone the same way?
