Image macro, based on two vertically arranged screen captures from the TV show Top Gear, each showing show host Jeremy Clarkson with a caption at the bottom, quoting what he actually said in the shown situation. Above the screen captures, there is a white <br />space with a two-part caption. It starts with, “Mastodon: *flooded with spam and has only got full instance block to defend itself*.” This is followed by a blank line and, “Hubzilla and (streams):”. The upper screen capture shows Clarkson with <br />what appears to be a concerned expression on his face. The quote below is, “Oh no!” The lower screen capture shows Clarkson immediately carrying on as if nothing had happened. He obviously actually doesn't care at all. The quote below is, <br />“Anyway...”

@NoiseColor It is mostly an issue that administrators have to handle, but if they don't handle it, it starts spilling over into fediverse conversations.

Basically, a bunch of people create fake accounts for the purpose of sending spam or other nefarious purposes.

It takes up server space, and potentially contains illegal content. Basically stuff an admin does not want on their servers.
