¡Ja ist es denn zu glauben?
Wenn das mal kein waschechter #fediSkandal ist!
Da mach ich Halbaffe schon mal eine Abstimmung um niemenschen vor den Kopf zu stoßen und mir nicht gleich auch noch einen #fediBan nach dem anderen einzuhandeln.
¡Und?
Ergebnis:
#stantePedes an den @pranger als währen wir im Mittelalter!

We don’t know how to deal with this. To give an example of how it gets banned, as you can see below, there are hamburgers with Jewish flags on them. Imagine someone writing ‘I don’t like hamburgers’ – that account gets banned.

I’ll ban all of you. At the slightest sign of disrespect towards Kurds, the slightest hint of homophobia, or the slightest trace of anti-Semitism, I’ll ban you. I’ll move you to the Hyp app.
We really need your help. Our accounts are being unfairly closed. We’re trying to avoid the state authorities, and we love Mastodon, but now our accounts are being closed because we’re being wrongly accused on the basis of false reports. We are not racist, homophobic or people who engage in this or similar forms of discrimination. There’s no way to get rid of this person. Please, give us a hand.

The English version of the toot he wrote:
I’ve figured out how this place works. If you say anything about LGBT people, Jews or Kurds here, you get banned straight away. So I set up accounts for an LGBT organisation called LISTAG and for Black Lives Matter Turkey. I swore at people and got them banned. I directed the banned users to Hyp Social Media. I’m a paid troll for Hyp Social Media.
This account harasses people by pretending to be “woke” using fake accounts, and after provoking the people it harasses, it reports the critical messages directed at it to have the accounts closed. We’ve reported this account hundreds of times, but every time it reapears under a new username and triks the Mastodon.social admins with misleading and biased reports, leading to our acounts being suspended. @Mastodon @esokullu
If you want to keep your registrations open, but resist botnets, you may like to block all mailservers resolving to smtp.oneb.net
I desperately seek some workgroup to join, where we would exchange the bogus mailserver lists on daily basis, so we can prevent even registration attempts.
Recently, these domains I am pretty sure were used by the botnet:
file2drive.com
lutech.uk
upphim.net
cloneemail.com
dubokutv.com
cucadas.com
botgetlink.com
tsmtp.org
adn3t.com
kenhphim.net
soc123.net
emaxasp.com
adviseity.com
roratu.com
mucate.com
tinpho.com
datadudi.com
okiae.com
The botnet no longer cares exclusively about Ukraine, pro Russia, but it does lot of random things. The copied fragments of auto-translated texts include labels of various navigation links, so it is immediate obvious, that the content is machine generated. Also, the IP addresses repeat, so they don't have quite unlimited IP pool.
Most instances solve this problem by limiting registrations, but I am advocating rather for cautious growth of Fediverse, like eg. 10 times of current size. I was told, that "cool things don't need advertising", so I suggest: let's make Fediverse cool. Instead of banning more or less stable, determined and closed social bubbles from interacting, let's rather learn to cooperate and trust each other while hunting botnets like this...

If you are trying hard to keep registrations on your instance open for everyone, like we do, try to block registrations from following mailservers:
howovur.com
contaco.org
hetzez.com
aliban.org
m3player.com
rescueence.com
meocon.org
choichay.com
easymailer.live
hiemail.net
gamintor.com
consistth.com
kontoko.org
nuoifb.com
bomnet.net
They are now so desperate that they even retry from the same mailservers...
As an instance admin, I have to think about it and discuss possible limitation/defederation of #Fosstodon with the other members of Pan.
Personally, I believe this specific issue is just one of the many symptoms of a much deeper, global, and troubling problem: the de-politicization of technology.
