OSM Town CompassThe OSM.town mods are aware of the on-going fediverse spam attack, and staying on top of it.We've turned off open registrations on this instance, just in case.Remember, please report any spam you see/are affected by. Don't just ignore it.Any masto admin tips on how to resolve this are always appreciated. 🙂^<a href="https://en.osm.town/@amapanda" class="u-url mention">@amapanda</a>

OSM Town CompassOn this Mastodon/Fediverse server we have many custom <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/OpenStreetMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#OpenStreetMap</a> emojis.😁 :osm_intensifies:If you want more, let us know! <<a href="https://en.osm.town/@MapAmore/111470553279842439" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://en.osm.town/@MapAmore/111470553279842439</a>>^ <a href="https://en.osm.town/@amapanda" class="u-url mention">@amapanda</a>

OSM Town Compass(2) The continued existance of anti-trans campaigners on threads.net (e.g. libsoftiktok) shows that FB will not moderate it properly.-- <a href="https://en.osm.town/@amapanda" class="u-url mention">@amapanda</a>

OSM Town Compass(1) Facebook/Meta has decided to block EU people from using threads.net, which shows that FB thinks it violates EU's digitial privacy laws. -- <a href="https://en.osm.town/@amapanda" class="u-url mention">@amapanda</a>

OSM Town CompassThis instance (en.OSM.town) has pre-emptively blocked federation with Facebook/Meta's threads.net.It's a little premature, since threads.net hasn't started federating, but the privacy violations and moderation failures show that well meaning mastodon/fedi servers shouldn't federate with them.-- <a href="https://en.osm.town/@amapanda" class="u-url mention">@amapanda</a>

OSM Town CompassSorry for the minor delay with some posts on OSM.town today. Software is, as always, to blame. 😅<a href="https://mastodon.social/@mastohost/110757151847192288" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://mastodon.social/@mastohost/110757151847192288</a> Thanks to <a href="https://mastodon.social/@mastohost" class="u-url mention">@mastohost</a> for noticing and fixing. ^<a href="https://en.osm.town/@amapanda" class="u-url mention">@amapanda</a>

OSM Town CompassFacebook/Meta is very active in OpenStreetMap. 🙂 We'd be especially interested in what they'd have to say about this too. 🙂^<a href="https://en.osm.town/@amapanda" class="u-url mention">@amapanda</a>
