For instances struggling with icky people trying to sign up... our extra step during sign-ups is working as intended. As we suspected, filling out the application is enough of a barrier that trolls and spammers are mostly weeded out. Does it reduce possible sign ups? Probs. Does it create more work? A little. But it means that we have a better idea of who ends up on the Speakeasy. We def recommend giving it a try. #FediMod #FediModerators

Hallo Mods und Admins. Wir bekommen häufiger englischsprachige Anmeldewünsche, in der der Nick z.B. aus maximal 2 Buchstaben plus 6 Zahlen bestehen (oder Variationen davon). Domain ist gmail und der Text ist nichtssagend. Wir vermuten mögliche Geisterkonten, um später Spam oder ähnliches zu initiieren. Beste Grüße vom tchncs Modteam. cc: @milan@social.tchncs.de @meldrian@social.tchncs.de @wuffel@social.tchncs.de#fedimods #fedimoderators #Fediadmin #admin Gerne Boost!

@Whiskeyomega@cupoftea.social hn. You could block the IP we think? Moderation -> IP Rules -> Create Rule (on Masto) https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/143.110.183.95 And I guess this is how u block ranges? Techies might know more. https://www.calculator.net/ip-subnet-calculator.html We think u would want to block 143.110.183.0/24 for that range? We think thats how to do it? #FediMods #FediModerators
