       Little FYI :cat_hug_triangle: If someone follows you or you spot someone with a "large number" in followers/follows and almost no posts that doesn't mean it's a bot account but rather the person is just auto-deleting their posts!This is a feature in #Mastodon you can find under settings 😉

       @stux I am so glad that Mastodon currently doesn't have (many) accounts that need bots to increase their follower statistics. You never realize how much nonsense gets removed from social media once algorithms and ads leave until you experience it...

       @ErikUden Oh but for real 😮 :clapping: We also actively remove spam accounts, even if they're "idle" 💪 no room for that

       @stux or they just migrated to a new instance, taking their following, follows, settings, but not posts. Good reminder.

       @stux @ErikUden on average how many spam accounts does the moderation team remove daily.

       @stux I used a third party service to auto delete my Twitter posts, so I was very happy to see this feature built into Mastodon!

       @stux it would be nice if there was some sort of indicator that this was the case
