I've banned 3 remote accounts today for this spam. PLEASE, if you get one of these posts, report it, and don't click anything, or your computer will no longer be under your control. #Mastodon #spam

#FediBlock Nanook is the instance owner of friendica[.].eskimo[.].com, and there are only 2 rules on his instance. Nothing illegal, and you can't attack anyone for saying anything they want (rules that are dog whistles for the worst). He's anti-Semitic, at […] [Original post on hear-me.social]

J) Problem is nobody presents us with a viable altemative, both parties are owned by the Jews, hell 5% of congress has dual Israeli-US citizenship, this shouldn't even be allowed. And war is good for the Jews because it is expensive, this means people will borrow money to buy arms. They will borrow that money from the Jews, at compound interest.

I just received this #scam email targeting hear-me.social users, trying to get them to log in using a malicious link so their accounts can be stolen. I hope nobody would be fooled by this. I will never send an email asking anyone to sign into their accounts […] [Original post on hear-me.social]

Today, Meta's list of sites they've targeted for training their AI was leaked. We're on their list. I do everything possible to block AI bots. I use Cloudflare AI bot protection. I block what I can. I don't know if they actually get to read anything, but they […] [Original post on hear-me.social]

In today's, "What will get you banned", there is "sealioning" trolling. It involves targeting individuals with relentless requests for evidence, more information, or explanations, even after explanations and information is provided. The troll tries to act […] [Original post on hear-me.social]

A very old cartoon. A man and woman are in an old car and the woman says, "I don't mind most marine mammals. But sea lions? I could do without sea lion."
The man says, "Don't say that out loud!"

Suddenly, a sea lion shows up and says, "pardon me, I couldn't help but overhear.

The next 4 frames show the sea lion in their home, in their bedroom, at their dinner table, non-stop asking for evidence as to what is the problem with sea lions, and just saying things like, no need to raise your voice. I'm having a civil conversation. Apparently, this harassment never stops

#fediblock Might want to limit mstdn.jp for a while. There's a spam wave. I've had them limited for the longest time anyway because they have poor moderation and many posts shouldn't be on the public timeline.

Very odd. Starting the past few days, Facebook and Meta bots are hitting my sign-up page once or twice per hour. Obviously, it's not for scraping information. I wonder if they're keeping tabs on the server health. But, why? #Mastodon #MastoAdmin #Bots #Meta #Facebook

@hybridhavoc Oddly, they just open the accounts. They hardly ever post anything. They advertise some product or service, usually gambling sites, and they put URLs in the profile description. Similar to this:

I turned on #Cloudflare #AI bot protection and have been looking at the firewall logs, and in the past 30 minutes, Cloudflare blocked 15 bots that were trying to read posts on this server. It shows me the posts it was trying to read. I wonder if these people […] [Original post on hear-me.social]
