People complaining: #Decentralized services are bad because #spam can't be effectively fought against...
My current half a year lasting experience on centralized #google drive service:
Google drive notification from a stranger requesting sharing me an advert pdf.

seriously, I've seen a lot of posts about this but I've seen very little spam (a few dodgy "consulting" companies). I just blocked them and haven't had any problems since. Is this really an issue?

Admittedly, not many people follow me :) 😂 maybe it's just for the popular people?

@aproposnix I blocked the user several times and always a new sharing request comes from different user.
And there is a very simple pattern on this spam. The filename and nude advert in the pdf are always the same. Still it lasts for half a year and nobody at google cares...

And it's not only google drive, it now also started on #GPhotos 😒
I already reported the completely same #phishing message three times, but a new one from another account appears again...

Conclusion: it does not matter whether you use centralized or decentralized services, spam is always there...
