It's been like a month now with pretty intense spam, all from matrix.org accts.

Anyone have a list of public mjolnir bots that are willing to moderate random rooms?

I just block the spam account when I see it. It's gone after a second. No need for matrix to do anything.

Ehhhh... It is worth having a basic anti-bot measure. Like, say, closing registrations and letting decentralisation kick in properly. 👀

There's https://github.com/matrix-org/mjolnir and there are multiple banlists you can subscribe to. One of the from m.org and many community lists, you can find them at this space - #jjj-banlist-collection:matrix.org
