😤 I just received a wave of Fedispam (reported) under my recent Peertube video on @shichimi

Quote from their instance About page: "BitTube is a blockchain based video streaming platform using P2P (BitTorrent) directly in the web browser with WebTorrent and Airtime reward system where users earn TUBE cryptocyrrency [...] BitTube emphasizes free speech [...]" (src: bittube.video/about/instance )

😩 ...

Have I a bias, or is this corelation between spams, cryptos and 'free speech' is not surprising?

A screenshot of three spam as seen from my Mastodon account. The URL was censored to avoid anyone visiting them, and the instance in common on the URL has been outlined to highlight their common origin.

It's a multi level marketing fraud for tech believers, I can't see any bias :)

@davidrevoy @shichimi no bias, it's the same for other things. For example pandemic denying, anti vaxers, Putin lovers, racism, queer misia, antisemitism, if you see one chances are very high that you finde some of the others. If you believe in one bullshit it's only a matter of time to believe some other.

again its crypto dweebs reinventing existing things but bad.

@davidrevoy It's not surprising. Crypto-currency is a right-libertarian ponzi scheme (probably doesn't have to be? But in its current form it is) and they think "free speech" means "you can say whatever you want and no one else can disagree" which leads to all kinds of fun.

I could hide the spam easily under the video, on the Peertube page.

Good and simple Peertube user interface! :pt: 🧡

@davidrevoy depending on the instance the accounts come from, you might even think about not federating with this instance instead of muting.

Hmm. Thanks for mentioning this. I haven't given much thought to anti-spam policies on my YouTube. Guess I'd better learn how to do that.

@davidrevoy Malheureusement c'est (un peu) un biais, c'est surtout que bittube autorise les nouvelles inscriptions 😢
Il existe aujourd'hui des annuaires des instances peertube où on peut s'inscrire, spécialement labellée "créez un compte pour vos pub et touchez un maximum de personne grâce au fédiverse !"
J'ai clos les inscriptions sur mon instance exclusivement pour ça : j'avais 20 comptes/j, et des humains, pas des bots, payés pour créer ces comptes et faire chier le monde avec 😭

Bittube is a pain in the ass. There are hundreds of spam account, and they don't respond to reports, or to message send by the contact form. I banned the entire instance on my peertubes.
