first off: screening new signups has helped us a lot.
when we first launched treehouse mastodon, because we have high profile community members, we attracted trolls basically immediately whose goals were to disrupt operations of the instance.
the most notable incident involved a person who signed up for an account and then immediately uploaded multiple pieces of media which were CSAM.
this actually has wound up going very badly for that person, who has had to cancel his podcast several times because his door has gotten kicked in by law enforcement due to this, and other maladaptive behavior.
