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"
New spam bot wave with multiple accounts - search for hashtag x4 to find them all. Some of them also include auth links to mastodon instances, looks like a phishing attempt or something.
HIGHLY recommend Fediblock for user '@MKULTRADiamond' as they're tagging random users and spamming porn with no CW. Receipts attached in the screenshot.
Edit: The whole instance is Freeze Peach. Toss it in the trash.
@trumpet please stop blocking threads so that I can follow and boost @POTUS
This policy of blocking entire instances simply because you don't like who runs them is silly and detrimental to the Fediverse not to mention our democracy.
I've a big whish. Please add the possibility to follow a single person from another instance (which is potentially blocked by my instance), via the timeline feature.
It's possible to follow a complete Mastodon instance with #fedilab, but it would be nice to follow only a single account (like @potus), because following @threads.net makes no sense (for me).
We have limited ieji.de today after learning that its moderators have repeatedly failed to act on reports of transphobia, racism, and misinformation. Several reports were forwarded from us that were entirely without consequences; one such user continued to harass others and post nazi dogwhistles after receiving a warning from a moderator that was not followed up on. Even public complaints only resulted in a limit.
Barring any improvements in moderation, we will defederate from ieji.de in two weeks (Monday April 15, 2024). At that point, all of our users who follow someone on ieji.de (and vice versa) will be unable to do so.
If your blocklist is public and was picked up by a blocklist-scraper, SPW probably already proactively blocked you. If it didn’t or if you want to cover your bases, you’ll need to update your entry.
