BE SURE TO READ ANNOUNCEMENTS!

(sorry for noise, just want to be sure my instance peeps are aware because mastodon announcements suck lmao)

#BakaSocial peeps,

Please check the announcements for migration warning!

Baka.Social is shutting down and rebranding under the name and domain Oshi.social moving forward.

This transition is so we can swap from Mastodon to Sharkey!

Migrating your account/data is completely optional!

BUT WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU USE THE MIGRATION GUIDE TO AT LEAST BACK UP

Check the announcement for contact info and discord server if you need any help! ​​ ​​

Apologies to all server members for the continued spam.

The reality of the situation is that blocking individual accounts is not a viable long term solution here. It's whack a mole.

Blocking whole servers is sometimes appropriate, but there is a risk of blocking innocent users in the process so we want to reduce the amount we block.

Best thing for now, please continue to ignore the spam.

Antispam will come I am sure, it is just taking some time

I am sooooo fucking glad we stopped using relays over at #BakaSocial

I can't imagine how much more spam we would have if we still used them πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€

WARNING: There is a pretty huge spam campaign going on by some alleged hacker group spamming their discord server.

Obviously don't join it lmao.

We have the tools to combat something from a server or two, but this is pretty distributed and we will need to see what changes happen to fedi to help combat this!.

For now I am attempting to remove as many accounts as I can as well as denying those hashtags from trending.

Someone's gonna have to make a YT video about this one πŸ’€
