As a reminder to everyone... running an instance isn't free. Even if ppl are doing stuffs from home, adminning and mod stuffs take time and can drain ppl mentally.
We prob spend 5-15 hours a week on stuffs, for ex. We think that's pretty light tbh. Modmins of other instances prob do a lot more.
If u love Fedi, then maybe ask ur instance what u can do to help?

For the ppl using or hosting pPixelfed, it seems that they are doing the AI thing. We are... unsurprised, but disappointed.

Wann bekommt @Mastodon eigentlich vernünftige Hooks, damit man derlei besser erkennen und unterbinden kann? Macht hier den Mammutanteil aller Spam-Reports aus und im Mod-Interface kann man nichtmals erkennen, dass es Followspam ist, man sieht nur, dass ein Account reported wurde. Das ist völlig unzureichend, zumal es sich recht gut technisch erkennen ließe.

If you missed it, someone majorly messed up.
An admin from another Fediverse site noticed someone pressuring a user for money — a predatory tactic often used against seniors and disabled individuals. When the admin reported this behavior privately, another admin or moderator retaliated by mass-reporting a bunch of their unrelated posts. Many of these were completely harmless, featuring photos of cute bunnies and animals.
The goal was clearly to trigger a snap judgment from moderation tools. However, that moderator didn't realize they were false-flagging a fellow admin on the Fediverse.

Vom Bauchgefühl her würde ich keinen der Accounts, die da gerade um Einlass im Burningboard bitten zulassen. Die Quote derer die zugelassen wird ist eh extrem gering. Ich würde sagen einer von 20 oder 30.
Nicht, weil wir sie hier bei uns nicht haben wollen. Sondern, weil es mit extrem hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit Bot-Spam ist. Aber es soll natürlich auch kein User unberechtigt abgelehnt werden. Vielleicht nur deshalb, weil er per VPN reinkommt oder mit einer "merkwürdigen" email.Vielleicht mache ich mir aber auch einfach zuviel Kopf darum. Aber es nervt im Moment und kostet Kraft.

Not all admins/mods are good people, and sometimes you get proof of that fact. That includes taking advantage of the elderly and disabled.
The scam group known as Gaza Verified continues to do what scam groups do. That includes pressuring people — especially the elderly and disabled — into giving them large sums of money.
Unfortunately, reporting this behavior, even when it seems obvious, may not personally win you any favors, as someone recently learned.
The Fediverse has a scammer problem!
Concerned user:" Linux have you seen this guy: USER NAME @ mastodon.social?
Me:
He seems to be giving a lot to these accounts. I had a look at one of them, and he's given just one of them over £4k in about a month
(eg: https://chuffed.org/project/184394-hanadi-is-a-nurse-graduate-who-need-help-for-her-family).
I hope he's loaded, and he's giving wierd amounts, £9, £8, £50 and then lastly £500! 😕 "" I already have them on my block list because they were boosting the scam groups post and trying to help them raise money. They're one of their so-called supporters. Although, I haven't yet updated the GIT. The next update will have over 50 or so new accounts. "
Concerned user:" Linux :( he's giving them serious amounts of cash even though they keep guilt-tripping him :(
Me:
I did msg him to be careful, but never got a reply.
When I reported https://ieji.de/@hanadinurse88, and told them to stop harrasing the USER NAME guy, some modertor from leji.de reported me, just tagging random posts from me in the report... weird! "" That whole domain is in my blocked domain list for a reason. There are some sites that are complicit and other sites I suspect are in on it. The Internet and by extension the Fediverse is anonymous, and just became someone is a mod or admin, does not make them a good person. "

It seems they have removed hanadinurse88, but since they also reported you (to you, not knowing you are the admin of your own site), you see what I am dealing with.
Many scam groups show two sides... a legitimate side and a scammer side. It is how they manage circumstances to their advantage and manipulate moderation systems to evade accountability.
You did the right thing, and it was obvious, so someone couldn't ignore it. But you were also inconvenient to their operation, and so you were reported for voicing yourself. -

Sneaky. 👀
Since the scammers from the scam group, Gaza "Verified," realized people were blocking and reporting them here, they decided to extend their reach to the other side of the Fediverse.
The Fediverse isn't all ActivityPub (the protocol). The other part uses Nostr, and that is where you can find them — not just on your typical Misskey or Mastodon site.
My anti-spam / anti-block list has been gaining in popularity for this reason, and now I am expanding it to include the bridge accounts that they use to connect between ActivityPub and Nostr.
You can checkout my growing list (see URL). At the moment, there is 1,262 accounts, which I have identified as participating in spam and scam activity — along with accounts that actively promote, defend, or amplify them.

Sneaky. 👀
Since the scammers from the scam group, Gaza "Verified," realized people were blocking and reporting them here, they decided to extend their reach to the other side of the Fediverse.
The Fediverse isn't all ActivityPub (the protocol). The other part uses Nostr, and that is where you can find them — not just on your typical Misskey or Mastodon site.
My anti-spam / anti-block list has been gaining in popularity for this reason, and now I am expanding it to include the bridge accounts that they use to connect between ActivityPub and Nostr.
You can checkout my growing list (see URL). At the moment, there is 1,262 accounts, which I have identified as participating in spam and scam activity — along with accounts that actively promote, defend, or amplify them.
