Spammers have been programmatically creating accounts on Mastodon instances for years. Sometimes they post once and never again, sometimes they post on a schedule. Sometimes they never post, like a waiting botnet.

As Mastodon's anti-spam solutions are effectively nonexistent, most instances in our network require manual approval of new accounts. Up until recently, it was easy to spot a spammer; their join reasons were generic.

ChatGPT spammers have now arrived.

Just remember, a few years from now, that anyone who joined ICE in 2025 knew what the fuck they were signing up to do.
It is raining and terribly smoky at the same time, and I have a meeting soon to talk about a billionaire private astronaut mission run by a billionaire-owned space launch company that dropped space debris on farms near my house. This apocalyptic scifi novel I'm living in is dumb.

I bake because it makes me happy right before it makes someone else happy. I was anxious to be sure the cinnamon bread was cooked through in the middle. It's hard to cut it cleanly while warm.
The drizzled frosting is cinnamon and vanilla.
I will drop a loaf off to the grandkids tomorrow. They always slice it up, dip in egg batter and throw it on the griddle for grandma special French toast.
Today has been a good day.
Summer has been the center of our world.

@NorcalGma2 They look yummy πŸ˜‹
@NorcalGma2 That β€œgrandma special French toast” sounds sublime. I’m jealous of your grandkids πŸ˜…
@stephaniepixie
Cinnamon bread is our healthier version. We used to turn my cinnamon rolls into French toast. Now we are calorie conscious. 🀣
@NorcalGma2 Oh my… it all sounds so delicious πŸ˜‹
@NorcalGma2 the baking updates are wonderful. I live vicariously thru them. We get precious few days where it's cool enough to throw on the oven & bake
@NorcalGma2 This looks amazing and I would like to try it for stress relief baking purposes. Do you have a recipe you can share?
@Margaritak
I have been baking this recipe since I was a kid so I do it from memory.
@NorcalGma2 @Margaritak Now I'm really sad.. I came looking for the recipe too..
Thank you for asking Margaritak
@Joy_intl @NorcalGma2 well I took the inspiration and found a recipe online - sally's recipes are good. Just need to add the icing if you want πŸ˜†

Homemade Cinnamon Swirl Bread - Sally's Baking Addiction

Nothing compares to fresh bread and this simple recipe for homemade cinnamon swirl bread is a family favorite! The recipe makes just 1 loaf.

Sally's Baking Addiction

@Margaritak aww! Thank you!
In response, I share the only cinnamon roll recipe I've tried - and been rather satisfied with -

I'm not a super experienced baker for breads that rise..

One-Bowl, Overnight Cinnamon Rolls Recipe | BraveTart

These warm, gooey cinnamon rolls are a holiday secret weapon because the all-in-one recipe takes only one bowl and can be made in advance.

Serious Eats
@Joy_intl Excellent- thank you! This is funny because I floated the cinnamon bread idea in the household and the household requested scrolls so that's what I am making. Happy baking all around.

@NorcalGma2

The cinnamon bread (and the grandma special made with it) are amazing!

I started using a quick-read thermometer to check doneness in baked goods and find it helpful.
Here's a photo of the baking section of my chart, inside the cupboard door next to the oven.

@FiddleSix
I use toothpicks. I hadn't made this recipe in a long time even though I was pretty sure I wanted to check the texture before I gave a loaf away.
It is perfect for French toast.
I have been baking my whole life and I've never used temperature except for proofing the yeast. It is a good idea. Thank you.
@FiddleSix
I learn so much from you.
Thank you again.
@NorcalGma2 that looks lovely :)
@NorcalGma2 Eggs arent a resource 2 b exploited by humans its bodily produce of another who didnt agree 2 b part of a genocidal system that sexually exploits breeding 2 maximise profits, kills their day old male chicks (bc theyre "the wrong breed for meat") & slaughters them @ menopause bc they aren't doing what gives them value in the eyes of their abusers anymore backyard eggs have similar problems > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YFz99OT18k #vegan https://nationearth.com
Why don't vegans eat backyard eggs?

@NorcalGma2 Ooh, that looks delish πŸ˜‹
That looks delicious.
