  1. (sorry, didn't link earlier, was actually away from screens, gasp)

    Plenty of people don't have a problem with harassment on Mastodon but this does not mean that harassment on Mastodon isn't a massive, massive issue. I've been thinking about this more and more, the longer I'm here (Oct 22)

    Sincere thanks as always to everyone who helps keep others safe here and also everyone who thinks on the hard problems 💚

    It's really important to include a reason for the report and to have selected a post giving an example of the problem, so that the admin can get an idea of why it's been reported.

  7. Although Trump was a subject of the recent posts on Bluesky, most showed #Russia’s preoccupation with #France, which has emerged as the leader of #Europe’s efforts to bolster #Ukraine in the #war, & #Armenia, a former Soviet republic that #elections next month could move further from Moscow’s orbit.

  8. Russian news outlets also cite these fabricated posts, falsely suggesting that the content, mostly in English, originated in the West. The Social Design Agency did not respond to a request for comment.

    #RussianPropaganda on #Bluesky first became notable during #Germany’s elections last year, when the Kremlin sought to bolster Germany’s #FarRight, led by the Alternative for Germany party, known as #AfD.

  9. …Clemson attributed the #SocialDesignAgency’s campaign to a Kremlin #InfluenceOperation that researchers have called Matryoshka, after the Russian nesting dolls.

    The operation, which emerged in 2024, specializes in creating fake articles that look as if they were from real news organizations like Reuters or France 24. The goal seems to be to spread the claims by encouraging fact checkers to debunk them.

  14. #Bluesky has been tracking the activity & removing the posts—as many as a couple of thousand. They came in waves beginning in April & continuing until at least last week.

    In a statement, the company called Russian influence operations “an industrywide problem.” “We dedicate significant resources toward detecting & disrupting coordinated inauthentic campaigns,” it said.

  15. The campaign, which the researchers at Clemson University linked to the #SocialDesignAgency, a company in Moscow, shows how #Russia continues to seek new ways to erode public support for #Ukraine….

    While Russians have long flooded #SocialMedia platforms with fake accounts & #content, #hacking into real accounts appeared to be a novel strategy.

    #MediaLiteracy #disinformation #misinformation #Propaganda #RussianPropaganda #tech #moderation

  16. …The compromised #Bluesky accounts included those of people who are influential in their fields, though perhaps not famous. They were journalists & professors, a pollster in Texas, an anime artist & a filmmaker in Hollywood, whose account posted a video doctored by #AI to impersonate a Canadian police official criticizing France’s president, Emmanuel Macron.

  22. Reddit's harassment filter

    This feature was enabled long ago for r/freebsd. Filtering was recently increased from moderate, to high.

    Its first catch since the increase is pictured below. This case would probably have been caught by the moderate filter.

    Moderators see the abuse, the red alert.

    Normal users of the subreddit see nothing. Smart.

    (It's possible that u/reddit_original saw the comment by u/ArtSuspicious7027 because the offending comment was a reply to u/reddit_original. I'm not certain.)

    A Wayback machine capture of the offender's profile, after manual confirmation of the removal: <web.archive.org/web/2026051915>.

    The abuse that's removed from a subreddit e.g. <old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comme> remains visible in an offender's profile. This can help the public to form an opinion of the person, even if the person attempts to obscure their comment history.

  27. Interesting how a couple of days of hard moderation has reduced the amount of "ricer" spam dropping bullshit posts to pretty much zero.

    Can't tell if it's from banning a couple of chronic posters, or what.
    Hope this helps for keeping the sub-reddit clean-ish.

    *fingers crossed* for chasing the crap away.

    It's been a pain in the ass reducing the garbage noise.

  38. Idiots adding me to #moderation list because I don't kiss their ring. I don't bow to anybody. If you ain't the teacher, then you're the student. I have one teacher because I know what I know. I am nobody's student except for the #Lord. My path is unmistakably righteous. #UBI is garbage. #Plantation.

  39. @pauamma re: <mstdn.social/@pauamma/11657632> and two-factor authentication

    In 2022, someone repeatedly published allegations about my account activity.

    This was horribly stressful. I imagined that my account had been hacked. In a panic, I enabled 2FA.

    Eventually it transpired that the allegations were entirely false – from someone who had been malicious towards me in the past. A person who sometimes pretends to not use Reddit, yet I see around eighteen different Reddit IDs for this one personality (all in the same location, and so on).

    After he was proved wrong: the liar never apologised for any of the trouble that he had caused.

    In my heart: I want to ban all eighteen IDs from the FreeBSD subreddit. My sense of fairness caused me to block only one of the eighteen.
