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 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 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, “Anyway...”

There seems to be another massive spam wave going on.
Or so I’ve heard. I’m on Hubzilla. 😉

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.

What does Hubzilla have that gives them better tools to fight this?

By default, you only see posts from people you follow, and replies to their posts. And by replies, we mean replies to each particular thread.
Unlike Mastodon, all posts and replies are part of a thread (like a forum post or a Facebook-style social media post). Both the administrator and the person who started the thread can delete comments within that thread.
This also means you can unfollow specific conversations (threads) while continuing following someone's channel.
With Mastodon, people can randomly mention you and you are notified of the post. With Hubzilla, this is turned off by default, although you can turn it on if you want. Spammers can't spam you by mentioning you.
And then there are the various ways to block channels.
So spammers can't get into your inbox very easily, and if they do, they are easy to block.

The more I read about Hubzilla, the more I like the sound if it.
