If you haven't yet silenced the following domains, you are potentially federating non-stop pro-Russian state-sponsored spam and slopaganda. Local timelines make it very clear these services are overrun, abandoned spam factories with 150-300 bot accounts posting 24/7. https://zirk.us/public/local https://sigmoid.social/public/local https://social.roadfm.fr/public/local todon.ploud.fr (appears to be offline at the moment) https://truthsocial.co.in/public/local See https://about.iftas.org/iftas-abandoned-unmanaged-denylist-output/ for suspend vs silence recommendations.

@iftas@mastodon.iftas.org Move your iftas link to the top of the list. The zirk link is showing up in the preview. The first link that is not 404 is what gets preview treatment.

@iftas@mastodon.iftas.org The other option is to intentionally break the links by changing https to hXXps so they do not become clickable links. This way no one will accidentally click on them, and they will not get tne preview treatment.

@iftas@mastodon.iftas.org that's awful. I remember many respectful people being on the first two instances. I hope anyone still around has migrated away.

zirk.us has taken on new moderation help and will be reviewed for retraction from the AUD list in the coming days.

Unfortunately, it seems that I can’t add risqué domains to my communities block list via current PF software. Perhaps in future?
