 For folks outside the instance, I just added this blocklist to help combat the spam wave we've been experiencing: https://github.com/Mastodon-DE/blocklists/blob/main/spam/2024-02-15/2024-02-15-spam-mute-list.md If your instance is on the list you may not be able to interact normally with merveilles.town. If you've handled the spam and would like to refederate please reach out to me! #mastoadmin 5 comments
@elektron The instances in that list were set to be silenced, and we're rejecting their media. Our posts will still make it there for the users that follow accounts from here, and new followers from those instances need to be manually approved by my users here. See more here: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/moderation/#limit-server  @elektron Certainly, cheers! :3 I'd definitely recommend checking out that GitHub and the posts linked in it, there's other good info like mail server blocks and blocking common temporary mail sources included there too  @somnius Thanks to @neauoire for boosting, Somnius yourself for posting and linking to the list, and to @ErikUden for compiling the list in the first place. As someone who hasn't seen a single ripple of this spam wave, this is a real clear-cut case of "when the system runs smoothly for us, our way in to acknowledging there's a problem is by listening to those for whom it is gummed up". For which I must also thank my own admin @trumpet! |

@somnius if you block an instance, do your toots still make it to that instance?
