> While I think the app and service has gotten much worse in several ways post-Elon, I do see way less crypto spam than before FWIW

Cryptocurrency spam has declined simply because the cryptocurrency markets have tanked.

Overall spam is way, way worse than before, and it's shockingly low-effort. My DMs are absolutely useless - just chock full of obvious bot accounts who want to "date" me and just need me to click a link first.

I used to get one of those every few months, rare enough that it would surprise me. Since December or so, I've been getting multiple every day.

EDIT: In the one minute it's been since I wrote this comment, I just received yet another.

I just block any follows or messages from obvious bots... it's a low signal, but with enough doing the same, it's better. I do wish there was a separate "block spammer/scammer" button as well, as trying to report anything is just frustrating. VS blocking someone I find toxic to interact with imo, shouldn't negatively effect them nearly as much as an account that's a scammer/spammer.
