Spam messages from help@micro.blog

For the last ~hour or so, I have been receiving a steady stream of messages ostensibly from help@micro.blog, with subject “Micro.blog received a direct message”, and with the contents ostensibly a “Direct message from @someuserid@mastodon.social” soliciting something to do with bitcoin.

I can include more details if needed.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Yes, Mastodon.social has a spam problem. There’s an update to Micro.blog that tries to mitigate the problem.
