We need an option in #MastoAdmin settings to check for open registration instances and automatically limit them. #Spam Of course, the big dog instances like Mastodon.Social wouldn't like this.

Has anyone made a script yet that canvases Fediverse instances, esp Mastodon, for open registrations so we either automatically moderate them or can create and import a blocklist with them limited? #Fediblock

social dot freysa dot ai is the poster child for the techbro approach of forcing generative AI down everyone's throats tbh. who the fuck wants to read 125,000 #AIslop posts of regurgitated twitter takes a day? nobody on this network, that's for sure. #fediblock

Acabo de bloquear a un usuario de mi instancia porque tiene, literalmente, lo siguiente en su bio:
"No soy feminista, lo prostituyeron con el hembrismo no en la búsqueda de la equidad entre sexos.
En contra de:
-Pobre vs Ricos
-Blancos vs Negros
-Heteros vs LGTB
-Indigenismo vs Mestizos
En todo movimiento que busca la lucha entre la diversidad de las personas y su desarrollo."
Se intentan infiltrar en todas las instancias.
Tened cuidado ahí, y bloqueo ante la sospecha.

Freedom Bits Collective is announcing a partnership with The Bad Space! Together, we're implementing a Great Fedi Wall™ that automatically blocks evil hateful instances saying hateful words to protect you from getting offended!

We will also block every instance that doesn't implement this blocklist for being complicit in allowing people to get offended and contributing to the spread of incorrect political opinions.

Over the last 24 or so hours I've been subject to a harassment campaign where people have encouraged me to kill myself, and/or called me racist and homophobic slurs, and/or accused me of pedophilia.

Most of the abuse came from a small number of instances:

nicecrew[.]digital
shit[.]poster[.]place
parcero[.]casa

(The last one actually has multiple abusive instances under multiple two-letter-subdomains - I recommend blocking the apex.)

As these instances are all dedicated to 'free speech’, 'satire’, or ‘shit-posting’ (as we all know these terms are all synonymous with abuse) I would recommend a fediblock on these instances, if you don't already block them.

(If anyone is curious: This all started because someone spread the rumour that FediFetcher doesn't respect robots.txt. A rumour that's false: FediFetcher does respect robots.txt.)

We have added chinanews.social to our #FediBlock list as they seem to be failing to moderate a lot of the Nicole spam, the admin account hasn't posted in over a year and the version of Mastodon is rather old so it appears to have been abandoned and left to rot.

@EveHasWords If it’s running an ancient version of Mastodon (basically, anything less than 4.0), then #fediblock it all the way because the instance admin should’ve upgraded it long ago & if the admin refuses to upgrade it, then we have no obligation to keep federating with them. So, show them no mercy & keep them #fediblocked all the way until they upgrade to at least version 4.1 & crack down on their own spammers.
