If it randomly mentions other users, and if it comes in such masses that Mastodon admins have to raise the shields and Fediblock the hell out of dozens of instances, then it’s spam all right.
That said, the last spam wave was organised on Misskey again, but carried out by bots from Mastodon instances largely abandoned by their admins. At least partially, this was the case for the first big spam wave as well.
Is there a reason why miskey users organized a distributed spam wave from Mastodon…?
But yeah, miskey is much more popular in Japan, whereas here in the west Mastodon is much more popular
I recall it was just student that do script attack.
Some Misskey instance like Misskey.design, Misskey.io, and Misskey.id also got their attack several months ago.
