Content warning: Triple FediBlock


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.

#FediBlockDetails.


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


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://celebrity.social" rel="ugc">celebrity.social</a>
<a href="http://conchrepublic.social" rel="ugc">conchrepublic.social</a>
<a href="http://lawstodon.social" rel="ugc">lawstodon.social</a>
<a href="http://humanist.social" rel="ugc">humanist.social</a>
<a href="http://roadlife.social" rel="ugc">roadlife.social</a>
<a href="http://greatloop.social" rel="ugc">greatloop.social</a>
<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.

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.moe now.
  • 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:

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.agency and 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 on ryona.agency if 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.

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.
