🔴 **Jack Dorsey And I***

I received notification from 'Jack Dorsey' informing me that he wants to chat with me and all I have to do is click on the provided link (see image below). In response, after due consideration of the matter, I decided to block the account.

Continued thread

For your safety, the current list of instances that Ro uses to attack queer people on fedi is:

- rage.love
- queer.group
- indiepocalypse.social
- blackqueer.life
- queer.garden
- mastodon.art
- solarpunk.moe
- colorid.es
- cathode.church

Blocking as many of these instances as you can will minimize the risk of your instance facing transphobic harassment from Ro.

It's best to block all of them - often harassment escalates when a new source is added to the list (not yet blocked). #fediblock

We need an option in #MastoAdmin settings to check for open registration instances and automatically limit them. #Spam Of course, the big dog instances like Mastodon.Social wouldn't like this.

Has anyone made a script yet that canvases Fediverse instances, esp Mastodon, for open registrations so we either automatically moderate them or can create and import a blocklist with them limited? #Fediblock

Acabo de bloquear a un usuario de mi instancia porque tiene, literalmente, lo siguiente en su bio:
"No soy feminista, lo prostituyeron con el hembrismo no en la búsqueda de la equidad entre sexos.
En contra de:
-Pobre vs Ricos
-Blancos vs Negros
-Heteros vs LGTB
-Indigenismo vs Mestizos
En todo movimiento que busca la lucha entre la diversidad de las personas y su desarrollo."
Se intentan infiltrar en todas las instancias.
Tened cuidado ahí, y bloqueo ante la sospecha.

Over the last 24 or so hours I've been subject to a harassment campaign where people have encouraged me to kill myself, and/or called me racist and homophobic slurs, and/or accused me of pedophilia.

Most of the abuse came from a small number of instances:

nicecrew[.]digital
shit[.]poster[.]place
parcero[.]casa

(The last one actually has multiple abusive instances under multiple two-letter-subdomains - I recommend blocking the apex.)

As these instances are all dedicated to 'free speech’, 'satire’, or ‘shit-posting’ (as we all know these terms are all synonymous with abuse) I would recommend a fediblock on these instances, if you don't already block them.

(If anyone is curious: This all started because someone spread the rumour that FediFetcher doesn't respect robots.txt. A rumour that's false: FediFetcher does respect robots.txt.)

We have added chinanews.social to our #FediBlock list as they seem to be failing to moderate a lot of the Nicole spam, the admin account hasn't posted in over a year and the version of Mastodon is rather old so it appears to have been abandoned and left to rot.
