To search for

@mastodon.hongkongers.net

it looks like it might be Canadian, given all the CBC profiles it's running

Going to find one that looks like a major origin and #Mute #Block and #DomainBlock

mmm... no

Given this:

https://fediverse.observer/mastodon.hongkongers.net

it's Chinese

(Guess "hongkongers.net" should have been a tipoff)

Thanks for the tip...

OK

Wait

Are these some kind of #Meme or something

I've already seen too many and haven't been paying close attention but I thought they were pretty much one clown

Thanks for the tip

I'll continue to #Mute, #Block, and #DomainBlock on sight, as appropriate

If I want high school posts i'll go back to #Twitter

Bye...

@floe

"would there be interest in a Fediverse bot that posts Fox News headlines from their RSS feed?"

Abso-fucking-lutely not

I really don't understand why some people want to assume that other people are less well-informed than they apparently are

#FOXNews is neither news nor the source of any content that *I* need to keep up with, speaking only for myself

FOX News is pure Murdoch-Ailes-Carlson trash dreck

If FOX News appears in any #Mastodon feed I see, out comes the #BanHammer

#Mute, #Block, #DomainBlock if needed

Ihr selbst habt oder eure Admins haben wissentlich oder aus Versehen eine Domain im Fediverse blockiert, auf der ihr noch Follower hattet – oder Profile, denen ihr gefolgt seid?

Und nun sind alle Accounts von diesem Server weg?

Diese verlorengegangenen Konten findet ihr in den Einstellungen wieder: „Follower und Folge ich“ → „Getrennte Beziehungen“ 💡

The domain libertarian.communitynetwork.space has been suspended (defederated) from Enby.Life. This is currently a single-user instance, but seems prepared to accept new users and become a new shitty hub for the right-wing side of fedi.

Block reasons include:
- right-wing
- pro-russia
- claims license to all content
- transphobia
- sex-negative
- ableism
- supports police violence
- racism (white supremacy, "white genocide" misinfo)
- promotes capitalism
- xenophobia
- publicizing reports
- supports child starvation and death
- fatphobia
- fascism
- supports mass surveillance
- supports discrimination as a concept

No screenshots this time, since you can just hop to the instance homepage and local timeline to see all of this right out in the open.

@rl_dane

Informative to search for ioc.exchange at Fediverse Observer and look at the Live Feed

Every post with at least one Reply gets one of these bogus #Verification spams

I'll probably do a #DomainBlock and maybe check back tomorrow to see if @ioc.exchange has managed to get their moderation sh*t together...

The domain doll.salon has been suspended (defederated) from Enby.Life for pedophilia (MAPs and lolicon/shotacon).

As usual for pedi instances, this one runs Pawkey (pediverse fork of Sharkey). Pawkey's frontend is locked down by default, so you'll need to view the users through another federated instance to verify receipts. (though I don't recommend that, personally.)

Sorry for the lack of alt text, I'm just getting tired of looking at these awful profiles. 3rd screenshot contains a lolicon banner depicting violent assault of a child, please be careful and don't look unless you need to. I censored it but it's still extremely awful.

The domain feral.bond has been suspended (defederated) from Enby.Life for pedophilia (pro-contact MAPs) and zoophilia. At least one user has an alt on another pediverse instance, cunny.beauty.

The instance frontend is locked down, so you'll need to view a user through another federated instance to verify receipts.

The domain freaky.university has been suspended (defederated) from Enby.Life for pedophilia (MAPs) and zoophilia. The admin Felix is also admin of cutiepaws.org, another known MAP instance. As usual for pedi instances, this one runs Pawkey (pediverse fork of Sharkey).

As Pawkey's frontend is locked down by default, you will need to view the user through another federated instance to verify receipts. (though I don't recommend that, personally...)

There's now starting to be a flood of posts from diverse accounts on the accursed @bsky.brid.gy domain, & i Do Not Like It. Another interwebz search still proved useless. Tbh i feel surprised & disappointed that this otherwise impressive software appears to have provided users with no simple tool to achieve whole-domain blocking [unless it's right under my nose & i'm too dim to see it; always possible!].

I contemplated this; block an individual account on that domain, eg, "[email protected]", then Export my blocklist, edit it in a text file to be *@bsky.brid.gy, then Import it. Seems ridiculous to need to go to such a workaround, & anyway atm i have no idea if wildcards are even recognised in Sharkey's blocklists.

However, i have realised this morn that iirc, most or maybe all of these damn unwanted accounts are appearing in one specific timeline of mine; my #Antenna [which i use for all my #FollowedHashtags]. So now i have edited said Antenna & inserted @bsky.brid.gy to its Exclude field. Will this work?
