Every time I toot today, two accounts from pawoo.net follow me. :thinking: What's up with that, @tankgrrl ?
@GreyWyvern @tankgrrl Yeah, I'm getting a lot of weird ghost-like follows from pawoo.net users too... :S
@dzuk @GreyWyvern PS - I'm also thinking a lot of bots probably moved to pawoo... *sigh*
@tankgrrl @GreyWyvern @dzuk this may be linked to this https://plateia.org/notice/39335 (gnu social instance notice) I get followed by them as soon as I post too.
@tuskytoot @GreyWyvern @tankgrrl *blocks/reports another one* goddamn it e_e. I personally wouldn't mind Pawoo being totally blocked at this point (at least until they get their act together).
@dzuk @GreyWyvern @tuskytoot They're blocked as of now. Looks like numerous sites are doing so.
@dzuk @GreyWyvern @tankgrrl No way! Now they've changed domains! https://friends.nico/@kodam followed me randomly now, the same as https://pawoo.net/@kodam who did previously. Look at the pro! following 45000 with literally 3 toots in just 24hrs?! BOT! Wtf
@tuskytoot @tankgrrl @GreyWyvern Yeah, I've been getting spam follows from the same people (or different people) in other Japanese Mastodon instances too (mstdn.jp, friends.nico as you said, etc.), although Pawoo made up at least half of them for me. Only a few people have been doing it across instances. I guess the Japanese instances are having problems moderating this stuff or sth? (If they are moderating this at all)
@dzuk @GreyWyvern @tuskytoot Yeah. Looks like the admin there is a bit unsure what to do about it. They may end up being the next block if they're unlucky.
