There is an ongoing spam attack on the fediverse for the last couple of days. It's more widespread than before, as attackers are targeting smaller servers to create accounts. Before, usually only mastodon.social was targeted and our team could take care of it. For server administrators out there: If you don't need open registrations, switch over to approval mode. If you do, blocking disposable e-mail providers is a massive stopgap to the problem. Mastodon also supports hCaptcha.

Over at Twitter, Musk is deleting the "Block" option except for DMs. Given the increasing numbers of extremists there, this is guaranteed to piss off all kinds of people who routinely get trolled. Based on experience and observation, journalists are among them.

When will journalists realize they should leave that vile platform, and bring their followers to better places like this one?

Maybe now?

@dramypsyd nice 👍🤣

@lhn good idea

Currently Masto.host is experiencing the highest volume of traffic that has ever reached the infrastructure.

The service is partially degraded and I will be doing fast upgrades on the platform.

These can lead to partial downtime, errors and large delays in support requests.

Really sorry. Doing the best I can on my end. Hope you understand. Thanks.
