Yesterday, one of their users replied to the Auschwitz Museum with:
“I wonder in the future whether you will post pictures of Palestinian children?”

The post has been removed, but the user is not limited at all.
Harboring users who harass a Holocaust Museum account fundamentally breaks our code of conduct. A post removal is not enough for an offense as extreme as this in our view, as this user displayed an extreme level of antisemitism and should not be allowed to continue without limits as if nothing happened (including the ability to harass others in the future).

A really brief #FediBlock:
If you blocked shitposter.club, it now has a related instance shitposter.world which appears to be its successor following technical issues. If you don’t find SPC block-worthy, you can ignore this post.
- SPW shares many members.
- Side note: If your blocklist is public and was picked up by a blocklist-scraper, SPW probably already proactively blocked you. If it didn’t or if you want to cover your bases, you’ll need to update your entry.
- Receipts for the original SPC instance.
- Thread with background on the technical rationale for the new instance, and a post from the admin confirming it.
- About page and NodeInfo show an MRF policy to reject incoming deletes; source code.

Some #FediBlock entries:
aillust.fun: instance revolves around AI-generated lewd imagery, especially lolicon.
pso.li: unapologetic queermisia, inc. from admin account “admin”. Scroll through the local timeline for receipts.
yeshuafreedom.com: far-right conspiracy PeerTube instance with unapologetic bigotry.
- Channel “yeshuamakesfree” contains anti-vax, young-earth, and flat-earth conspiracy videos as well as blatant transmisia.
- Channel “johns_videos” has more of the same.
- Both channels are linked on the landing page of the instance as the two primary channels of the instance.
naharia.net: racism.
- Admin “megalomart” regularly posts racist bait (one, two, three, four) while having “Proud Black Woman” in their profile bio.
vigilante.tv: Another far-right conspiracy PeerTube
- Rightoid crap like the left-brain prison and “based” queermisia. Search the word “trans” for blatant transmisia.
- Hosts a channel for a Covidspiracist/germ-theory-skeptic.
Many of you have suspended newsie.social, and other instances that its admin “Jeff” runs. He’s constantly spinning up more. Here are the ones I’ve found so far:
newsie.social

<a href="http://honeytree.social" rel="ugc">honeytree.social</a>
<a href="http://boating.social" rel="ugc">boating.social</a>Some of these instances shut down and re-direct to Jeff’s other projects, but shut-down instances often come back later.
Fediverse-adjacent sites by the same admin:
bigrelay.social
<a href="http://verifiedjournalist.social" rel="ugc">verifiedjournalist.social</a>(EDIT 2023-10-14: Jeff now runs
journa.host as well)This isn’t as severe as the other entries in this post; it’s just an FYI in case you only suspended a subset. If you suspended newsie.social, you might want to consider these. If you didn’t find newise.social suspend-worthy, you can ignore this.

Hello all Fedi Admins who have problems with spam!
The Mute List 2.2.2
I have been updating the spam list and found ~104 additional instances that continued spamming! I, with lots of help of other Fedi Admins, have compiled the instances into a list which mutes them, and does not defederate from them!
I'd highly appreciate a small donation here as I've worked really hard and long on creating this, which given my current schedule I can hardly justify! Thanks!
There is a new type of spam, the same instances are affected as before. Those responsible in Japan are said to have been arrested.
Instructions and Explanation of the List.
Once this list is imported, most of the spam is gone. The whole thing is easy for you, with just one click! In addition, no instance is blocked forever, no followers etc. are destroyed or unfollowed, only muted.
You can simply import this list by going to https://yourinstance.tld/admin/export_domain_blocks/new and replacing yourinstance.tld with the domain of the instance you are the administrator of!
Alternatively, you can also click on Settings => Moderation => Federation => Import to import this list.
Note that although all instances can be imported with one click, these instances must be removed individually when the spam is over.
Also note that it only makes sense to import this list and mute the spam instances if you have blocked your spam locally and permanently, as described here.
Here's to a spam-free Fediverse :apartyblobcat: !

Hallo alle Fedi-Admins die Probleme mit Spam haben!
Die Mute-Liste 2.2.2
Ich habe die Spam-Liste aktualisiert und ~104 zusätzliche Instanzen gefunden, die weiterhin spammen! Ich habe, mit viel Hilfe von anderen Fedi Admins, die Instanzen in einer Liste zusammengestellt, die sie stumm schaltet und nicht von ihnen deföderiert!
Ich würde mich sehr über eine kleine Spende hier freuen, da Ich wirklich hart und lange an der Erstellung dieser Liste gearbeitet habe, was Ich angesichts meines aktuellen Zeitplans kaum rechtfertigen kann! Dankeschön!
Es gibt eine neue Art von Spam, die gleichen Instanzen sind betroffen wie vorher. Die Verantwortlichen in Japan sollen verhaftet worden sein.
Anleitung und Erklärung zur Liste.
Ist diese Liste importiert ist ein Großteil des Spams vorbei. Das ganze ist für euch leicht, geht mit einem klick! Zudem wird keinerlei Instanz für immer geblockt, keinerlei Follower etc. zerstört oder deföderiert, sondern nur stummgeschaltet. Das ist sehr leicht umkehrbar.
Ihr könnet diese Liste einfach importieren, indem ihr auf https://yourinstance.tld/admin/export_domain_blocks/new geht und yourinstance.tld durch die Domain derer Instanz ersetzt, von der ihr der Administrator seid!
Alternativ könnt ihr auch auf Einstellungen => Moderation => Föderation => Importieren drücken, um diese Liste zu importieren.
Beachtet, dass zwar alle Instanzen mit einem Klick importiert werden können, dass aber diese Instanzen einzeln entfernt werden müssen, wenn der Spam vorbei ist.
Beachtet auch, dass es nur Sinn ergibt, diese Liste zu importieren und die Spam-Instanzen stumm zu schalten, wenn ihr euren Spam lokal und nachhaltig blockiert habt, wie hier beschrieben.
Auf ein Spam-Freies Fediverse 
!

noauthority.social is run by the same bigoted admin as noagendasocial.com, as a continuation of the latter. If you defederated the latter, you should defederate the former.
Receipts archived and listed in its FediNuke entry, right after its sibling instances noagendasocial.nl and noagendatube.com. #FediBlock

There's currently an incident involving some kind of Japanese skids who call themselves the "Kuroneko" organization.
They seem to be attempting to commit DDoS attacks on Misskey servers, constantly creating new accounts on compromised instances and spamming advertisements for their hacking services.
Admins who are federating with these compromised servers, while they might not get compromised themselves, may be affected by the sheer amount of traffic volume from their spam.
Admins are advised to #fediblock or temporarily stop sending requests to affected servers for now, if they don't want to get secondhand DoS'd
IMO I never expected them to be Japanese out of all things, kinda funny. They also host VOICEROID and VOICEVOX TTS bots on their Discord apparently. Kinda a weird flex I guess.
But yeah, probably just a bunch of skids.

A little-advertised bridge just appeared between the Fediverse and Twitter founder Dorsey's new social network. It intends to bridge accounts that don't opt out.
Doing this as opt out is a pretty immoral thing to do. Also unclear how legal opt-out bridges are in some countries. The bridge is using these domains:
snarfed.org
brid.gy
Server admins may want to defederate these to prevent their members being bridged without their knowledge or permission.
(via @mastodonmigration )
@snarfed@indieweb.social: No service should be opt-out. Bluesky is known to platform Nazis without remorse. Nazis aren't welcome on the Fediverse.
https://snarfed.org/2024-02-12_52106

Some #FediBlock entries:
plagu.ee: same reasons as ryona.agency.
- Block notification bot, so don’t block individual users yourself if your instance federates blocks (Mastodon does by default). Also rejects deletes.
- Racial slurs in the keyword policies (instance-wide word replacements).
- Appears to be run by “mint”, the admin of
ryona.agencyand current maintainer of FBA (the blocklist scraper + search engine + notifier). My reasoning: it’s the same username, mutuals with each other, same custom MRF policies, same circle of friends, and the user is known for having many alts with the same username. Check mint onryona.agencyif you need more receipts.
boks.moe: hosts users from bae.st, breastmilk.club, rdrama.cc, beefyboys.win, etc. and making troll accounts on other instances.
- Racial slurs in concerning contexts: from an admin, same admin and a user, again.
- Creating troll accounts on another instance with the intention of rule-breaking for the lulz. Follow-up.
- While this instance doesn’t appear to be intended for block-evasion, it has (probably unintentionally?) had that effect since most members come from widely-suspended instances and have appeared in the mentions of some friends of mine who had blocked their original homes. Them getting frustrated prompted me to post this a bit earlier than I planned to.
Time for another #FediBlock round:
marsey.moe: new Soapbox instance that appears to be the new home of boks.moe after the latter got filtered by OpenDNS. It’s close to the the.asbestos.cafe/glee.li communities. If you suspended boks.moe, you might want to consider this one.
- Receipts for racism and other bigotry from the old instance: one, two, three, four, five. Paulo is the admin and Tomato has staff privileges; both are on
marsey.moenow. - More receipts in the quoted post at the end, but many of the links probably won’t work anymore unless your instance has cached the posts.
freespeech.fans: freeze peach.
- “About” page says: “Free Speech Fans is a server for those of us that want to speak and live freely. There is no need to fear being deplatformed or canceled here. If our discourse offends you then you must remember that being here is a choice.”
- No rules beyond US law.
kyun.host: subdomains m and ck.
- A lot of r/drama-like “ironic” bigotry against Romani, trans, and other groups.
- Feel free to scroll through admin account “naphtha” on either instance for more receipts.

Some #FediBlock entries:
parcero.bond
foxgirl.lol
- blatantly antisemitic use of slurs from the admin.
- transphobic slurs.
- poa.st donor admin, if it matters.
someotherguy.xyz
taihou.website
- New server of “mischievoustomato”. See quoted post linked at the end for archived receipts on this user, from other servers.
- Confirmation that the user is the same is in this migration announcement post. Later in the thread the user also admits to block-evading in the past.
- Check their handle on
rebased.taihou.websiteif you need to see if the concerns in that FediBlock post apply. I came to the conclusion that [it’s still worth blocking (rape threats)].(https://archive.today/2023.12.28-001750/https://rebased.taihou.website/notice/Ad6aKh8SogLOrXocXA). - Edit 2023-12-28: also anti-vax and indophobic racism, the latter of which indicates that this old
boks.moereceipt of tomato’s racism is still quite relevant. - Some more xenophobia.
PS: if anyone I know would like to help find evidence of a very large Fedi server using bespoke methods to secretly filter anti-Threads topics from users’ feeds, get in touch in DMs and I may connect you to someone.

lots of people I like a lot on mstdn.social. However they also have Charlie Kirk. I'm blocking the whole instance. You should too. #Fediblock
Edit: His account HAS been suspended. However, in the Tusky app and in the Megalodon app, his account is visible, as are his posts, and I can still reply to him.
@megalodon and @Tusky this seems like a serious problem

PSA: It looks like mastodon.social has implemented hCAPTCHA on their signups yesterday.
So, if you have limited / suspended mastodon.social because of the spam issue, you may wish to reconsider this.
This will also likely mean that spammers will move to different instances (already seeing them targeting mastodon.world).
You may wish to consider implementing hCAPTCHA yourself to protect your own instance, and here is the relevant PR:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25019
The reason I'm suggesting this, is because if you are a small/medium instance with open registrations, and spammers find and abuse your instance, I imagine that other instances will limit/suspend your instance without hesitation, given how willing some were to limit/suspend the much larger mastodon.social.
But do note this comment on the PR:
“To give some context to people seeing this: this is an emergency feature backport from Glitch SOC to help mitigating an ongoing spam wave, this feature may not make it in a next release, or with significative changes.”

Note to whoever boosted this Christofascist's introduction where he said he was banned for his opinion without saying what his opinion was:
You MUST ask what the bannable opinion was!!!
Anyway heads up to other mods: I bet Mastodon.Online will ban him soon, so keep an eye out.

Content warning: Fediblock recommendation, anti-Blackness, mention of police violence
federated[DOT]fun seems to be an instance that traffics in homophobic and ableist humor and is quite friendly with a number of known awful instances.
Recommend a hard block on this one because of course #ItsAlwaysPleroma
After admitting a user had multiple reports of racist behavior and using an ai generated of a Black woman to do it behind, it was deemed that they would be allowed to stay on that instance.
This is unacceptable for a couple of reasons. To give a racist the benefit of the doubt after multiple infractions only invites that behavior to continue. And secondly, hiding your identity behind the face of a generated face of the people you are targeting implies a nefarious attempt to avoid consequences and is inherently a bad faith practice of a person who is anti-black and only seeks to cause harm.
Taking the word of a bigot after multiple infractions and deciding there should be no consequences and not limiting their ability to harass others simply invites more hateful behavior to continue and makes the fedi less safe.
