Does anyone think this person isn't lying? Like, to an empathetic person who genuinely opposes racism, it should be obvious that if you're talking about something that could be harassment, and it's being done to a Black person, then it's extremely reasonable to conclude that racism is at play.
So, to volunteer to reply to a Black person who's pointing out racist harassment to tell them that, in your opinion, it's harassment that's not "specifically anti-black" would be essentially to tell that Black person that there's nothing specific about them to you. Which is racist.
This doesn't seem complicated to me. Anyway, #BlockList and #Fediblock candidate
I hate when people post political stuff on Fedi, because it makes me mentally unstable. I wish Sharkey had an option to hide posts from view and in the process mute the authors, and that tagging doomposts was mandatory. For my own mental health I deliberately live under a rock, and I hate that people are mass-sharing bad news on Fedi. It didn't used to be that way in 2022. God, what is wrong with people who don't tag political or other doomposts. It takes a fucking day to wash that shit out of my mind. Not only spoiler it, but hashtag it so I can block the entire tag. Otherwise I may potentially start mass-blocking users who post or boost such posts, and I really do not want to have to do that. I don't need to see that shit. #fediblock#nopoliticstoday#tagyourspoilers#dontdoompost#nodepression#stfuabouttwitter#keepitlight#mentalhealthmatters
Recently I've seen accounts from the @newmast.community domain automatically retooting my toots, based on specific hashtags.
All these accounts apparently aim to share posts from mastodon, bluesky and threads.
This is quite an invasive practice. If I'm retooted, I want it to be by "real people", and bcos my post was interesting or useful to someone.
So I've blocked their domains (they also have @newsmast.social) and accounts.
A screenshot of a toot by @socialsciences At Newsmast we’re all about connection, which is why we’re welcoming a safe, consensual extension of the social web. Soon this Feed will see contributions from experts across Bluesky and Threads! We’d love it if you joined in, just follow @bsky.brid.gy and people on Bluesky will be able to see the great things you have to say. If it’s not for you, that’s okay too! Just block the bsky.brid.gy and the threads.net domains.
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.
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.

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.
Admins, is there some reason you have decided to ignore reports about your Holocaust-denying users? Surely five days is enough time, and surely suspension is the only reasonable response.
あなたがあなたのホロコーストを否定するユーザーのレポートを無視することを決めた理由はありますか？ 確かに5日間は応答を期待するのに十分な時間です。
I recommend that admins #Fediblockbofh.social and queerfedi.net. The admin of both servers is, in this post, calling for ethnic cleansing against Jews in the [edit for clarity: historic] Palestine (called Israelis because of the supposed state most of them have the right to hold a passport from).
Nós, comunidade da Ayom no Fediverso, estamos vindo a público anunciar o bloqueio (#fediblock) da
instância de Mastodon Clube Social (clube.social).
A instância está sendo bloqueada por ferir os princípios da Ayom, que se coloca
explicitamente como uma comunidade de esquerda, anti-fascista e defensora dos
direitos humanos. Os motivos estão delimitados e descritos extensivamente no seguinte link: https://cloud.ayom.dev/s/d9TSK8Lx9SsMS3M
First, I gave villagers the ability to spew absolutely horseshit takes for you to disagree with
But if you disagree with a villager that's higher on the oppression totem pole than you, you get a #fediblock, which is like a normal block except that it can only get engagement by being an internet hall monitor"
