@inquiline blocked at the server level and suspended his vanity domain instance. #FediBlock if you block for anti-science or conspiracy theories, the post up thread is a single user instance you might want to ban hammer.
What should an Admin, or if you're an Admin, what do you do, about someone's post that contains unnecessary extreme profanities attacking a well-known person?
Apparemment, ce robot se permet de suivre des comptes pour mettre un outil de surveillance du contenu en ligne à des fins lucratives.
Il ne demande évidemment pas votre consentement avant d’exploiter vos données.
#Fediblockhttps://mstdn.social/@Smith007 bot or sock puppet account. All its posts that aren't pro-Israel are bland nonsense accompanied by an unrelated image with nonsense alt text.
One look at that bio is all I need to know you haven't worked on a game that consumers actually thought was good. You aren't entitled to a salary for churning out trash nobody wants to play year after year after year, especially now that Larry Fink ain't footing the bill for it. Maybe you should learn to weld. Or hell, just fuck off onto welfare benefits so the cost we bear from your continued existence is at least only financial.
"You mean my self-insert Mary Sue game with shitty graphics and horrible gameplay that I only marketed through signal boosting on my Black Trans LGBTQ2SPIA+ Mastodon Network™️ instance at the tail end of my #fediblock posts isn't selling well? Fucking patriarchy I'm telling you, brb gotta go get ready for my date with the bear" :acat_flabbergasted:
Well, I got my first white supremacist reply from the fediverse after posting an article about Elon from Flipboard.
I reported and blocked the account. I also looked at the instance admin's account and it's clear he's also a white supremacist. So that instance will be blocked on flipboard.com and flipboard.social as well as shared with other instance admins as a problematic instance for them to take action if they also deem appropriate. Took all of 2 minutes to help make the fediverse a bit better for everyone.
And the best thing is that anyone in the fediverse can do this too. Decentralized moderation FTW.
@mike If you don’t mind, sharing the domain with the #fediblock hashtag will make other admins aware of it too, if they aren’t already, so they can block it also.
Is anyone else getting traffic from 216.106.86.232 ?
I will open a report with the ISP
=======================
I'm putting this under #FediBlock because I've noticed that since 12 PM EDT yesterday (30-Apr-2024), API requests coming in from 216.106.86.232 have been returning 500 errors constantly from my server. No other 500 errors were being returned.
I blocked the IP at the Cloudflare firewall and now the 500 errors have stopped. There were more than 93K 500 return codes in total until now!
I have no idea what the requests are, and it's too late at night to do more research, but I'm passing this along to other Admins as a warning and to see if anyone else is seeing similar behavior.
@Gargron
Here's what I see in Cloudflare for the last one hour before blocking the IP address. Notice all the requests returning 500 are from this single IP. There are no page views. It's all API requests. And 500 errors stopped after I blocked it.

@jackyan They’ve created a new instance: mastodom.deepspace.cafe.
Absolutelyhar.am and mastodon.social have already nuked them. I’ve reported them to paktodon.asia, and put up a #fediblock post (that folks will most likely ignore since I’m a nobody 🤣).
We have suspended peertube.biz and comics.peertube.biz today. After receiving a report about one of their users, we took a look at the instances and found them hosting neonazi content all the way up to reuploads of Trump staffers' videos, as well as racist, queerphobic, and antifeminist content.
