I'm sorry its such a cat and mouse game - which is a shame as I do quite like the updates from this list which give an easy way to keep up to date on things if you haven't got the time to monitor discord. In a way - I wish there was an automated AI discord summary that was email out weekly to help those more time constrained keep tabs on exciting things.

Anyway - just want to say that I appreciate the efforts in keeping this medium possible - so thank you.

Hello,

We are seeing spammers subscribing to the list before sending spam.
This is really a new level (I think they use llm agents).

I have put the list on emergency moderation for now
cleaned the archive
will setup a stricter subscription with the support (already discussing with them)
