Instance looks legit for journalists but is not moderated, seemingly free for all registrations. Hosts several QAnon accounts.

Recently a big german covid denialist has made his home here and has amassed several hundred followers.

Instance is administrated (runs on latest release of Mastodon) but admin does not react on reports or questions here (or on Twitter).

I created this pr. I chose the spam tag because there are a few spam accounts on this instance. Given the admins behavior of inaction on reports, I figured this tag would suit as well.

The big german covid denial account I mentioned has been deleted, so the admin will go into action once the pressure is high enough. Most of his followers are now quiet as well. However, some have started to post the typical denialist stuff. Reported, but not yet reacted on.

Thanks for your contribution. We only include tags that are proven by receipts. I've updated the receipts, tags and description. The description is now:

Instance is administrated (runs on latest release of Mastodon) but admin does only react on reports after pressured.

And the tags are reduced to "no moderation", "conspiracism" and "transmisia". Is that okay with you?
