Move at a moderate pace and fix things.

also: the account has only been active since a week, and its from feddit.online which seems to be quite happy spamming the fediverse.

Is feddit.online happily spamming the fediverse more generally? Or do you mean just that it hosts this particular account which is posting spammy links?

I subscribed when it first came out. You can't unsubscribe. There's no unsubscribe link in the email newsletter, and you may not be able to log in to manage your subscriptions.

It's definitely spam. I had to put into my spam block list to stop the emails.

It's clear that it's a bot. My question is: why it has upvotes?

Probably people reading the title and not the body.
