This is an experiment. Please boost.

mastoddosnt.ddns.net/

Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.

I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

@mdione I'd be curious to see the total amount of servers it reached, and if possible what kind of software they all use. Could be interesting to compare the numbers to fedidb.org and see if they somewhat match.

@mdione :

0) The domain name in your toot suggests that you're trying to DDoS Mastodon. Go away.

1) You've posted an http link. Even if that does not pose a big risk, it is stupid.

2) Your site is insufficiently secure: internet.nl/site/mastoddosnt.d

3) The domain name sucks (google.com/search?q=%22scams%2). My generic advice: do not visit ddns.net subdomains if asked for by people you do not personally know. Chances are huge that you'll run into a scam website.

4) Chain letters en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_le) have already been extensively researched.

Either you have criminal intents or you are not a *scientific* researcher.

Perhaps you should read about Samy Kamkar's story.

@ionica : you may want to unboost this junk.

* very few land places have a land antipode #maps

@mdione but at least some of the most populated regions in east Asia do, so that does increase the likelihood of antipodal earthlings

@mdione In case you did not learn that today, too: By total coincidence, the main island of Taiwan (which is historically known as Formosa) is the (partial) antipode of the Formosa province in Argentina.

@mdione
Given that the planet's 71% covered in water, one would default to the expectation that that would be the percentage of land places that lack a land antipode, but the overlap looks even lower on this map.
