To all Mastodon-admins: seems like there's an attack on all instances by troll accounts. Servers get slow because of it.
They use thousands of subdomains of activitypub-troll.cf. My 'pull' queues skyrocketed.
I now blocked the domain activitypub-troll.cf and all is back to normal. Please check if you're hit too.

@ruud I'm running Misskey so I was targeted. The domains I've seen in the attack are:
Ruud
@Dwarf :borg_logo:*.activitypub-troll.cf
*.misskey-forkbomb.cf
*.repl.co@dwarf @ruud Well, I just ended up using a CSV import method that I found for Mastodon to block all domains listed here the troll accounts are using on my end just to be on the safe side.
