Raccoon🇺🇸🏳️🌈#Moderation Alert:
ali525-q.hf.space seems to be made entirely for someone to repeatedly spam a claim that they are a Palestinian requesting money. Users, keep in mind that this is a very easy #scam as there is no way for moderation to confirm that these people are who they say they are, and it is unlikely.
Fellow #FediMods, feel free to check this instance, and correct me if I missed something, but as of now, I have suspended the instance as a spam vector and will be putting it on the next release of the public blocklist.
Amgine#Fedi #PSA: My last message garnered a spam from a bot, claiming I would get $$ for posts receiving more than 10 likes.
Any bot offering money for popularity is almost certainly spying on the #Fediverse.
#Fedizens: is there an appropriate response to this kind of action? Yes, I blocked @verifnoootiff at mastodon.world. But who is running it? and why?
[EDIT: Since the bot meister is, obviously, intrigued, let me add #Moderators #Mods #FediMods for reach.]
Falaichteneondystopia.world is an instance that values freedom of expression and equity above all else, something that I thought a devout christian like yourself would have valued. After all, Jesus too was prosecuted for his expression. We have fair and equitable guidelines for our users and moderators, ensuring that any reports filed are compared against our own rules and that of the instance the report originated from. We even investigate reports on staff independently to ensure they are peer reviewed and free from bias. We go above and beyond what most do to ensure that we maintain a comfortable and inclusive environment by carefully balancing free expression with fairness and equity. Choosing instead to deal with people on a case-by-case basis rather than blanket banning entire instances.
I don't take slander of our instance lightly, and wanted to leave you with a scripture in hope that you may reflect on your decision.
Matthew 7:1-5 “*Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.*"

Which servers need moderators? #askfedi #moderation #fedimods #mastomods I want to know where people can volunteer their time to help reduce the burden.

John MierauReposting an opinion on open registration servers from @alice:
Do you want another incel white boys club like Twitter? Because inaction is how you get there.
#FediAdmin, #FediMods, don't be a #NaziBar.
My take? Yeah, it's a little harder to moderate applications. But everyone benefits from making their life a little harder and intentional!
