Since a few days, our moderation team is litterally spammed with many generic trending hashtags to review. These are created by several accounts hosted on mastodon.hongkongers.net which create posts with many generic hashtags which are published several times, resulting in those hashtags all appearing in trends. This is considered abusive, weighing on the efforts of our moderation team to review, and diluting the trending hashtags in too big a list, which becomes irrelevant. Therefore, our instance shall silence mastodon.hongkongers.net to avoid this hashtag abuse. Our users will still be able to interact by following their accounts. #HashtagAbuse #MastoAdmin #MastodonAdmin #Fediblock #MastodonMod

@chpietsch@fedifreu.de Best ways to spot them: Check the ip on a site like ipqualityscore.com to see if it's from a datacenter or tor exit node. Check if the domain of the signup emailadres is disposable using something like usercheck.com Does the bio of the profile seem genuine? Take a section of it and search it between " " 's into a search engine and see if it matches an existing fedi profile, they often copy random profile's. Doing this will find 95% of them #FediAdmin #MastoAdmin

RE: https://fedifreu.de/@chpietsch/117050639754423573 Liebe Mastodon-Admins, wenn ihr nicht Teil einer rechtsextremen (oder von Putin/Trump gesteuerten) Propadandamaschine werden wollt, dann tut was gegen die #Sleeper-Accounts, die sich evt. massenhaft auf euren Instanzen einnisten. Was ihr tun könnte, habe ich mit Teilnehmenden des laufenden #Fedicamp zusammengetragen. Aktuelles Beispiel für diese FakeNews-Kampagnen: https://newsie.social/@dieKadda/117058626402342451 #PortalKombat #PutinTroll #TrumpTroll #SleeperAccounts #FakeNews #SpamRegistrations #RegistrationSpam #MastoAdmin #FediAdmin

Made it to 4.6.1. So far so good beyond having to remind myself how to upgrade my Ruby-Build version. #mastoadmin

Liebes #Fediverse und vor allem liebe #mastoadmin Gruppe. Wie ist euer aktueller Stand zu #SideKiq und deren Worker und Queues. Früher hatte man die ja auf ggf. mehrere laufende #SystemD Units aufgeteilt, ich meine aber das dies nicht mehr aktuell ist und keinen Vorteil bringen sollte. Aktuell sieht es bei uns halt wie folgt aus und ich frage, mich warum ich ihn nicht dazu bekomme mehr zu machen. DB_POOL:140 worker: 128 queues: default, 20 push, 9 ingress, 30 mailers, 3 #anoxinon Tipps?

Post 2 of 2 Maybe it's a generational thing; I don't know. But back when online forums were popular, we didn't cave to peer pressure. Administrators had a backbone and stood up for what was right. People admitted I was right — that Gaza Verified is a scam. Yet you folded just to appease public opinion. You're cowards, every last one of you! #ActivityPub #Fediverse #Mastodon #FediAdmin #MastoAdmin #GazaVerified #Gaza_Verified #Verified_Gaza

Sometimes Mastodon loses link preview card images and never refetches them, especially for older links. I haven't had time to figure out the root cause, so I created a quick cron script to fetch the missing images. Here it is, in case it's useful to anyone: https://github.com/mementomori-social/mementomori-scripts/blob/ea55b8682571afee142eacfda4b1027ccf86b569/refetch-preview-cards.sh #MastoAdmin #Mastodon

I get conflicted about infosec.exchange- there's a lot of good tooters on there that I find pretty invaluable and would not have discovered if not seeing them relayed into my feed. However there's a plethora of CVE bots and it's truly a nightmare. Muting them all is getting annoying. I'd set the restriction for infosec to "limit" but then I'm going to miss stuff I do actually want to see. wat do #mastoadmin

My catch-all email address is getting spam emails for accounts on my self-hosted Mastodon instance. The spam scrappers must be confusing federation email-like user@instance account handles as email. #Mastodon #Spam #ActivityPub #Federation #MastoAdmin Anyone with a catch-all box seeing this? Interested if another instance with two or three dozen or more users on their instance is...

In fact, the list should be updated. I forgot to include their "team members" when I made this list. Just add these people: @ casey @kafeneio.social @ joynewacc @mastodon.social @ aral @mastodon.ar.al @ rania40 @mastodon.social @ aseelfromgz @mastodon.social @ fabio @manganiello.eu ^ Just remember to remove the spaces when you update the list. Block them all, and if you feel you can add more people, please do. #Scam #Fraud #FediBlock #FediAdmin #MastoAdmin

You may or may not be able to notice it, but Fediverse admins and mods are currently fighting an annoying fight against various spammers - lately the "Yevheniia" spam wave. It takes mods and admins a lot of time and nerves to suspend spammer users, _after_ some damage has already been done. As of now, Mastodon does not have any heuristics-based alerting systems or tools that help fight spammers on the Fediverse. The only thing that we can do is _react_. We're in a poor situation. Let's change that! Therefore I've raised this ticket: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/39997 I ask every affected mod and admin to push this idea 💪 #mastoadmin

Wonder if this affects Mastodon, via oss-security earlier today: https://github.com/rails/rails/security/advisories/GHSA-xr9x-r78c-5hrm "In its default configuration, a Rails application that displays image variants may allow an unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files from the server, including the process environment." "An application is affected if it meets all of these requirements: Uses libvips for Active Storage image processing. This is config.active_storage.variant_processor = :vips, which load_defaults 7.0 set and no later default has changed. Allows image uploads from untrusted users." #mastoadmin

Weird issue I can't figure out. I want a follow a user who is on c.im, but it says I have their instance blocked. I don't have their instance blocked. However there is another instance I block that contains "c.im" but is an entirely different instance. The only thing I can conclude is some weird crossover here is happening? I thought maybe I was misreading and the instance was blocking mine, but I can see my posts there just fine. #mastoadmin

@darkpixel@infosec.exchange awesome! I plan to use this for eupolicy.social. I just got two more ideas to tick of everything on my wish list: 🔳 Instead of a streaming unit file, use template unit files, so to increase performance through horizontal scaling https://fedoramagazine.org/systemd-template-unit-files/ 🔳 Configure easily location of media files, so that also caddy/nginx can serve them directly. #mastoadmin #Quadlets
