What insights a mute from external users on social.fedicate.org?

1. Spammy Content
2. Non-English Content (We can't moderate things easily when it's not our native language)
3. AI

Bans are given out for bigots & illegal content.

#Moderation #FediMod #Mod #Muted

From now on, whenever I report a new remote troll, I'm going to include "please moderate your signups" in the report.

I might add "Or pay me for doing your moderation work." at some later point.

Looks like #Mastodon.social is getting hit with one of those #spambots that tags random people with an ad. Better keep an eye out, #FediMod / #moderators. Bit of a #Spam wave going on, might spread to other servers soon.

There is a big fucking bug in Mastodon's moderation features.

When I as a moderator suspend a remote account...

Expected behavior: The account can no longer be found or interacted with on our server and the account can't find or interact with accounts on our server.

Actual behavior: the account can still be found but is empty. there is a notice that the account is suspended and there is even still a follow button - it just doesn't do anything.
And the account can still see everything from our instance and interact with our posts. 🤯 Our users just won't reciprocate the interaction, because the reply won't appear here.
But if someone else replies to a reply from the suspended account we'll see that reply, but won't know what original post it belongs to.

Is this a new bug with Mastodon 4.3 or has it always been like that?
I've been moderating for 5 years now and this is new to me.

I'm not going to create an account on Microsoft™️ Github to officially file this bug report, but can someone tell me if it's already reported and what's the status? Thanks.

Additional ideal expected behavior: Previous replies to any of our posts by the suspended account won't be seen by anyone anywhere on the Fediverse - or at least not as replies to our posts, because our instance notifies/federates all other instances that these replies shouldn't be there.

#FMT #FediMod #FediMods

#Spam #Bot #Raid #alert for #FediStaff / #FediMod and others.

Glancing at the timeline in the middle of the night, I am noticing accounts pop up, send the message...
"Hello #Mastodon"
...then posting ads with no context, sometimes also using that message to get it on the hashtag.

General users, please report these if you see these #SpamBots, and #Moderation, be on the lookout.

Edit:
I have not seen them again today, so either this was just a one-off thing where someone made three accounts to do that, or a test of some system, or maybe someone else already got to all of them before I could see them. Either way, I guess this wasn't as much of a thing as it seemed last night, but let's keep an eye out in case this is a new pattern.

Importing the #Google #ngram #Data set into #PostgresSQL.

I'm almost done with the bi-grams.

I've got about ~900GB more to import, then it's on to the tri-grams.

This is an entire, unfiltered set, that I'm going to backup first and put in cold storage.

Then I'm going to filter out rows that have characters that aren't allowed in #HashTags. This is the dataset that will power #FediMod's hashtag #accessibility service.
