If you run a Mastodon server, especially if it's small and only lightly moderated, I would STRONGLY suggest enabling 'Approval required for sign up'. It means that your server is MUCH less likely to become the next source of spam in this wave we're seeing.

One of the people at the community learning centre insisted on taking a photo of me on Thursday with my mostly completed painting. It still needs a signature, but at least in this picture I'm holding it. So, everyone knows who nearly broke her wrists painting such fine detail on those penguins! This is entitled "Tux and Sprinkles". Any guesses on which is Tux and which Sprinkles?

Here we see an exploit: someone has created hundreds of fake accounts on different servers to spam the same tag.

Three trending hashtags on my instance, where the first trending hashtag is a spam tag over which I have drawn a strikethrough.

Rockaway Beach, Pacifica, California (2016)

Bronica S2, Fuji Acros film

I've always liked the tonality of the rocks in this image. Acros does such a wonderful job in that regard. You can also clearly see each row of waves as they approach the shore in all of their frothy inevitability. I can almost hear them.

#believeinfilm #blackandwhite #fujifilm #darkroom #beach #california #fediphoto

a square black and white photo, a beach scene. In the foreground, two large boulders. The one on the left is light gray, the one to it's right is very dark. There is a great deal of rough surface visible on both of them. To the right, a hill descends toward the ocean. The waves can be seen in the middle distance, row upon row of them approaching the shore. The sky is mostly cloudy.

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.
