A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

It's been like a month now with pretty intense spam, all from matrix.org accts.

Anyone have a list of public mjolnir bots that are willing to moderate random rooms?

This makes me sad. Another thing of note, I run a Conduit server (lighter Matrix basically) and I see spam bots trying to create accounts all the time (via the logs). If anyone here thinks of running their own, don't enable registration!

I'm not convinced that would be enough, but if it is hallelujah
