@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat not even spambots but just bots reposting website feeds flood it. Maybe I'm out of touch but I much prefer going straight to the RSS/Atom for that kind of usage.
@tilduke Right, bots or reports bots. If I wanted to see someone's Twitter feed spamming me then I'd use Twitter (or Nitter.)
