Folks, please do block brighteon.social from your servers. Looks like a US far-right misinformation/conspiracy site and they’re apparently ramping up with tens of thousands of bot accounts. Best to nip this in the bud now.
If you don’t run your own #Mastodon or #fediverse server, please ask your server admin to do it for you by reporting them.

A source of new Fediverse accounts is dev.brighteon.social.46,862 were discovered during the past day.
Brighteon is known for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories all over Facebook and Twitter, and it looks like they’re trying their hand at the Fediverse now.
I’ve looked at the accounts on that server, and the overwhelming majority look like bots. The goal seems to be spamming misinformation.
I recommend putting brighteon.social on #Fediblock.
