Will provide updates to this list
Die nächste Welle an #Spam rollt wohl. Diesmal statt mit direkten Links mit QR Codes. Der Link führt jeweils zu yip su, einem IP Logger.
Bisher habe ich 3 Misskey Instanzen gesehen, die nicht in der Liste vom letzten Mal stehen.
#fediadmin
Since the #spam has moved to QR code images which can't be filtered against effectively yet AFAIK, I've created a temporary conditional role for #Misskey with the following settings that should theoretically block all this spam.
Notes about my settings:
- "Account creation" time is calculated from when your instance has known the remote user.
- I've set the role to public so I can see which accounts get quarantined.
- The NOT "Makaian Expat" condition can be replaced with your own manually assigned role or removed altogether. I probably don't need it, but might as well add it for my instance to reduce possible false positives.
#fediblock #fediblockmeta #fediadmin
Oh great, it's spam o'clock again.
Apparently there is another SPAM wave, apparently only with Misskey servers?
Note that Misskey implemented a registration turn off switch when there is no moderators/admin online for 7 days, it will turn off registrations. Currently, there is no way to mitigate right now, so we proceeded to limit affected servers.
Here are a list of affected servers:
mk.hoshisaki-h.com
lovelive-misskey.t1nyb0x.cloud
pika.moe
tickler.cc
uma-aji.com
mi.c-at.jp

Hey #MastoAdmin / #FediAdmin folks, there's a spam wave happening.
They are using QR codes with random color schemes so you can't use blurhash filters. And there is no text other than username direct mentions
Spam usernames are random strings, on poorly moderated servers as usual
Anyone have recommendations for mitigation?
If you don't have an admin team that can handle properly auditing account registrations and dealing with reports quickly, I strongly recommend disabling open registrations on your servers for now
First off, we are not responsible for a users' actions on another host/ instance. Second, lots of users make duplicate posts on other instances.
If you don't like what a user is posting then block the fucking user.
If you don't like the hashtags a user is using then mute the fucking hashtags!
For fuck's sake people, stop your whining and bitching.

Are there any experiences, tools and metrics that make it possible to objectively measure the success of a fediverse account in the language of business (apart from classic links to your own websites with identifiers)?
I have noticed that quite a few commercial accounts in the Fediverse have given up because they do not achieve enough “reach”.
In some cases, the budget is certainly tied to KPIs that are familiar from Facebook, Instagram and the like. These measurements don't work as easily as in the commercial networks. So you quickly find yourself in a justification situation regarding the costs of account management in the Fediverse.
