  1. First ban on our instance: Keeping the Fediverse clean 🛡️

    I just issued the first local account ban today. A huge thank you to the users who reported the profile! Your vigilance is what makes this decentralized space work.

    The account in question wasn’t sharing actual content, but rather a "word salad" — a suspicious mix of random keywords and gibberish, typical for spam bots or SEO-farming.

    Note to fellow Fediverse admins: I’ve added a detailed reason for the suspension in the moderation notes. If this user attempts to migrate or interact with your instances, you should see the "spam/word salad" flag in your federation panels.

    Let’s keep the noise out and the signal strong! 📡

  9. Ah, yes, Apple's bold new plan to generously grace us all with even more ads disguised as "opportunities" in search results—because nothing screams #innovation like cluttering your screen with more spam. 🎉📱 Apparently, the real success story here is convincing people to willingly search for the very ads they already want to ignore. 🙄💸

  17. Le domaine "gup.pe" a changé de propriétaire et distribue désormais du spam.

    Vous devriez supprimer tous les groupes de gup.pe et utiliser d'autres services. Créer un compte sur #Friendica , avec sa capacité native à créer et utiliser des groupes/forums, serait peut-être une bonne idée ? Sur Friendica, vous pouvez créer un compte utilisateur et un compte de groupe/forum, puis passer de l'un à l'autre pour gérer le compte de #groupe.

  24. CW: New email spam

    I just got an e-mail of a small fee I have to pay to the German postal service to receive a package. But
    - I'm not waiting for any packages
    - I'm not in Germany, I don't pay German fees
    - the email was sent from a fishy domain
    - the package number was not valid on the German post website
    - it said unsubscribe at the bottom
    - and Dublin for the company location

    Gmail didn't register this as spam. From the best spam filter to the worst.

    I whish I could hit them harder than "mark as spam" and someone would bring this fucking scumbags to court and then in prison.

  28. WTF seriously #Mastodon!
    I had already blocked this very bot that was flooding my mentions with nonsensical stuff.
    Today the account was unblocked and my mentions were flooded again.
    This is NOT cool, and this is ruining my UX on this platform. If I decide to block a bloody bot, it shalt remain blocked FFS! To hell with these #spam bots. #spamalert
