If you get a DM saying "call me the Fediverse chick", it's a spam. Don't click the links, but DO report it!

Reports from users are really important, especially if they are about spam DMs because no one else can see the spam except the user.

You can report posts by clicking ⋯ on the post and selecting "Report". When you report it, make sure to select the option to forward the report to the server it came from so that the admin there can delete the spammer's account.

@FediTips clever to disguise themselves as chicken. Now that, eggs are difficult to get and expensive.

@FediTips I already suspended four of those, hoping that future version will introduce some checks on spammer profiles.

@gubi

As far as I know, this spammer has only signed up on servers that offer instant signups.

If you set your server to require approval for signups, that should stop the spammer joining your server.

Of course this doesn't stop the spammer if they signup on another server...

@FediTips Saw and done. It smelled bad. Living up to the old line from Clay Shirky about social media being “stuff that gets spammed”

@FediTips Does the existence of a Fediverse chick imply the existence of a Fediverse hen and rooster, and what is being done to find them??

@FediTips I think I muted the account, is there some place I can find who I've muted and then issue the report?

@cogdog

You can see your mutes by logging in on your server's website, going to your profile page, clicking ... and then "muted users".

@FediTips @breadandcircuses I clicked the link and now I’m married to the fediverse chick. I suspect you’re a liar.
