Frage | Friendica: Spam vor allen von Diaspora her?

Kann es sein das Spam im Fediverse vor allen von Diaspora her kommt? Klar ich hatte das auch schon auf Basis von Mastodon, aber eben nur sehr sehr wenig. Das was Diapora kommt ist wesentlich mehr. Neuestes Beispiel ist der Account globalfinancellz@diaspora.psyco.fr (Link) der mir folgenden schönen Kommentar schickte, den ich natürlich gelöscht habe:

Spammers have been programmatically creating accounts on Mastodon instances for years. Sometimes they post once and never again, sometimes they post on a schedule. Sometimes they never post, like a waiting botnet.

As Mastodon's anti-spam solutions are effectively nonexistent, most instances in our network require manual approval of new accounts. Up until recently, it was easy to spot a spammer; their join reasons were generic.

ChatGPT spammers have now arrived.

SPAM ?

Was ist streamers.social/ für ein Server?

Ich bekomme von daher sehr merkwürdige direkt platzierte Werbeposts "Ich bin XYZ du kannst mich so und so nennen, Ich bin XXY altm, zur Zeit mache ich Dingsbums ... Folge mir, du kannst mich und hier und hier finden"

Der Server selbst zeigt nicht, wer auf diesem Server aktiv ist, oder irgendwelche Posts.

#Spam #Fediverse

I am here to announce that I have decreased #spam on my web contact form from 1 message every 15 minutes (for months straight) to 0 messages in the last week by adding a "I am a spam bot" radio button.

I am not joking.

No I am not using something like ReCaptcha, I literally just added a radio button to the list.

After another spam wave, we're so grateful for @iftas

Their quick action prevented a repeat of the spam wave earlier in the year and things seem to be under control.

Thankfully, our complex signup process held up and the spam accounts involved in this attack weren't able to set-up on our instance! 💪

Mastodon Has A Serious SPAM Problem

"Over the past week or so there has been a serious spam problem hitting mastodon and rest of the fediverse especially misskey over on the japanese side of things and the story behind it is absolutely wild."

PS: if you like Brodie's content, he can also be found on Mastodon: @BrodieOnLinux

Due to #spam and #antisemitism, the following server is recommended for #Fediblock:

• assortedflotsam.com

I discovered this server when I was following up on a spam report, and noticed that they also host anti-semitic content as well.

Here’s an example of a spam account that has not been removed, despite my reports, and has been functioning since February 7th:

assortedflotsam.com/@yqqwe/

And here’s an example of anti-semitism:

assortedflotsam.com/@Oeneus/11…

Screenshot is also attached.

The big wave of spams is over? Thank you FediAdmins for doing what you do!

Anyway, a throwback for anyone wanting a little more.

These guys have been sending bomb threats to the Japanese government impersonating as KuronekoServer developers before the attack went big. #spam#infrastructure#fediblockmeta#cybersec#cybersecurity#infosec#spam#infrastructure#fediblockmeta#cybersec#cybersecurity#infosec

Thinking about multi-server aggregations and recommendation systems on decentralized online social networks like the #Fediverse.

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

#spam

yes.

also hi brodie this is like the 3rd time we're (probably) involved in a video of yours again since you're gonna be making a video on this #fediblock#fediblockmeta#fediadmins#fediadmin#mastoadmin#mastoadmins#spam

RE: Kuroneko incident

#fediadmins are advised to temporarily disable sign-ups for now, or implement some anti-spam measure to limit signups to not get spammed.
Currently they are targeting #misskey and #mastodon, but other #activitypub servers may soon be targeted.

More details will be posted soon. Stay tuned. #fediblock#fediadmin#fedadmins#mastodadmin#misskeyadmin#cybersecurity#spam

If automated scanning fails, Rozenshtein allows that this could cause "greater consolidation" of Mastodon servers to create the economies of scale to pay for more active, human moderation, which he compares to the consolidation of email that arose as a result of the #spam-wars. But the spam-wars have been catastrophic for email as a federated system and produced all kinds of opportunities for mischief by the big players:
