I just want to know if reports are failing for anyone else and if we need to be making some kind of plea to the admins/moderation teams/developers to try to fix it.
Because not being able to report this obvious spam is a problem.

So you rewrite the script, and if the message gets banned it replaces the banned words with similar words from a thesaurus.
I assume the messages would get jumbled after a while.
“Hi, me name be Nicole. The fediverse baby chicken.”
Well yeah it’s still at best a cat and mouse game. Really I suppose the biggest red flag a system could detect is most likely sending out multiple DMs on an account with little other activity.
can’t really ballpark but I’m guessing the bot must hit several hundred if not thousands of us in rapid succession on creation (otherwise it would be a lot slower and only a few of us would have seen it).
That being said, auto detecting the links, contact information etc… would be pretty direct as well, as that would require every banned iteration to also remake whatever methods it tries to phish etc… as well.
