They are on MastoHost but are raging because their instance will be auto managed under certain circumstances to limit spam.
If they don't care about limiting spam, then why should we all care to stay federated?
Again, they're on MastoHost so the spam problem won't be an issue, but the admin not caring about potentially spreading spam is quite worrying to say the least...
Can't stay quiet about this as much as I don't like namedropping or any kind of blaming even when there is a reason. But there is this one Mastodon admin who refuses to take any responsibility of his server. He literally said on other social site: "I'm not doing anything about it, just writing this comment is too much trouble for that shit."
I confonted him and said: "So you want to give free server capacity to criminals and spammers. Because quite a few vulnerabilities have come out since 4.1.4. So you want to let the spambots continue their work in peace? Good luck with that 🫡"
He answered "Yes" and blocked me. This is disturbing to say the least. Don't know how to react.
⚠️ Attention Mastodon administrators. Mastodo.fi is an abandoned server with an ancient software version. The server owner has no intention of addressing this issue. #spam#mastodonadmin#mastodon
To repeat: mastodo.fi is an abandoned server whose owner declared he would shut it down months ago, but didn't. Instead it's running an ancient, insecure version. Block it for security.
Please update your mastodon instance, or I'm going to #defederate it since you have SEVERE security issues. You claim to be running mastodon v3.2.1, which is quite old (we are at v4.2.7 now)
phpc.social has limited + rejected media from bondsdogs.com and contacted its admin, as while the instance is still active, it's consistently churning out spam as 99.99% of its posts right now.
phpc.social has limited + rejected media from nasface.cz and contacted its admin, as while the instance is still active, it's consistently churning out spam as 99.99% of its posts right now.
phpc.social has limited + rejected media from don.neet.co.jp and attempted to contact its admin, as while the instance is still active, it's consistently churning out spam as 99.99% of its posts right now.
All of these servers are vectors for an ongoing spam attack. Despite me giving them ample time to respond to reports, they refuse to respond. They show no inclination to moderate, and no action has been taken by them whatsoever.
In all cases, these are abandoned servers with open registrations. It is likely they will continue to be used for sending spam across the Fediverse.

phpc.social has temporarily limited + rejected media from quakers.social due to spam. They're currently cleaning things up, so I expect we will remove that limit soon.
We've also limited + rejected media and contacted instance admins for the following instances that seem to be more active with legitimate traffic but are still spamming:
L’instance h4.io se montre toléraite envers les racistes, attention !
Plusieurs posts de chez eux ont été signalés depuis lundi 12, un MP envoyé aux admins, des engueulades en public hier soir… (le pire des posts a enfin été supprimé entre hier soir et aujourd’hui)
D’ailleurs, être raciste n’est pas illégal d’après les admins. Wtf ?
