Over the past week we've seen a noticeable uptick in men joining, following dozens of accounts with female avatars, and then messaging them directly.
Some appear to be real people, some are fake accounts with stolen identities.
Either way, this is stalking and harassing behaviour, and we have zero tolerance for it.
For those affected by accounts we fail to catch, please report them. We _will_ take action, and you'll help keep the community safe and welcoming for all.
Diolch.
To everyone using mastodon.cloud and mstdn.jp: remember, you're not locked into those instances.
If you want, you can migrate elsewhere.
This is not Twitter—you have a choice regarding where your home will be on the Fediverse.
Everyone needs to be aware that Mask Group trades a crypto token.
This same entity now owns pawoo.net, mstdn.jo, and mastodon.cloud.
A warning: there's going to be a concerted effort to re-centralize the Fediverse.
As we've just seen with the acquisition of pawoo.net, that's already happening.
What are you going to do to thwart this trend?
I've been told that The Guardian has suffered a "serious IT incident" which is affecting access to all its offices.
Staff are being told to work from home, and not to use VPN to log in to any systems... :(
Wishing the Guardian IT team well, especially at this time of year.
1. it was a Grimes stalker, not an Elon stalker
2. near Grime's house
3. 26 miles from the last location of Elon's jet
4. 23 hours after his jet landed
