The Fediverse is still being hit by the "Fediverse Girl" spam, and it seems to be coming from servers that have instant sign-ups open.
If you run a Fediverse server, please consider switching to approval-based sign-ups to prevent spammers flooding the Fedi.

The weaponization of user #reports on here is appalling.
I've got two users on one of my instances who frankly aren't doing anything wrong that get absolutely FLOODED with user reports against them. The latest one is that one of the users is "obviously a bot" because they post "AI pictures" but here's the thing... they aren't posting AI pictures. I can see the full-size images they are posting before cropping them and there is no way in the world they are AI images because there's a goddamn embedded timestamp from the digital camera used to take the pictures along one edge.
Had another report that one of my users is "following over 7000 people" and posting meaningless replies to people.
Except, they're not following anywhere near 7000 people, and I've looked at every one of their posts and there's not anything automated about any of them and they are engaging with people just like anyone else would and are receiving replies and reactions to their posts (and comments) just like anyone else does.
All I gotta say is thank god #Sharkey allows me to basically #ignore user reports from specific #instances because I don't have the time or the patience to deal with someone that has an axe to grind or wants to see someone kicked off for the hell of it.
I think the fact that both of the women are self-described lesbians probably has more to do with things (and the harassment targeting them).

Jeśli ktoś lubi debugować Mastodonta - chyba szwankuje weryfikacja kont - weryfikacja linków dla Panoptykonu i Watchdoga działa tylko dla instancji na których są.
Problem dotyczy tylko niektórych profili na pół socialu i co najmniej jednego konta na eupolicy.social
Hey folks and especially #FediAdmin I have questions around the ephemeral nature of the social web space for you.
What's your sunset horizon on online accounts you create on here and other social platforms?
How long do you expect to have access to or make use of accounts (on LinkedIn versus Facebook versus wherever else you have accounts)?
How long do you expect the average multi-user fedi server to run for? (I understand funding and self-hosting and all that play a major factor, but I'm wondering how long do you expect to think they'll actually last on average)
I'm curious if that also factors into decisions to use self-deleting toots.

Any #mastodon #fediAdmin folk know if there's some sort of magic tool or database query I can run which tells me what proportion of traffic comes from what relays on my instance, please?
OK, what's going on here? I have a follower with no profile image and no posts, and appears to only follow me.
BUT looking at the profile directly on the web server, it's fully populated. What gives? Configuration issue on my server?
If you're frustrated about remote Fediverse profiles looking blank even though they're not blank, I've made a feature request about this on the Mastodon Github:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/33978
TL:DR - If a remote profile is blank or outdated, a user could click a button to load the 5 latest posts.
The Masto devs have previously been concerned that backfilling would overwhelm servers, but 5 posts on request wouldn't seem to be too bad?
Any thoughts appreciated 🙂

Joskus tekniikka tehettää kovasti. Kuten vaikka nyt: #friendica -instanssin konttiin vienti onnistui, mutta tietokannan palautus ei. Nyt mennään pidemmän kaavan kautta, mutta valmista ei tule tänään, joten instanssi social.porotokka.net toistaiseksi pois käytöstä.
Ylläpito pahoittelee asiaa. Bitit ovat ikäviä, kun menevät poikittain. 😞
#adminbullet #fediadmin #socialporotokkanet
Päivän agendalla siirtää #friendica -instanssin social.porotokka.net kokonaisuudessaan konttiin. Tietokantapalautus paraikaa käynnissä.
