Soso. #fediadmin #mastoadmin
Das ist definitiv bösartig. Einen Reverse Lookup auf meine Domain von Netcup machen und dann fediverse-bezogene Suchen starten wollen. Geht natürlich schief und landet im Jail.

Noticed that the AI account sign ups are mostly from emails on subdomains of io.vn . Checked and we have no other users signed up from that domain so I've blocked it.

It's been an interesting couple of #FediaAdmin weeks. In the last two weeks, we've had to do emergency security upgrades on our Sharkey, Piefed and now Peertube instances!
I know in the world of LLMs this will become more common, but it feels odd that all three of these fediverse platforms got hit with very high risk vulnerabilities so close together...

Does your instance terms of service have any mention of AI?

As part of the Speakeasy's internal projects, we'd like to offer our occasional services for:
1) Investigating instances hosting accounts that violate shared core principles.
We're a small instance, but we regularly review the fediblock tag on our and other instances to proactively screen for ick. We have a lot of spoons and we're jaded as... something, so we're okay checking and letting you know if your MH or spoons would suffer.
Know tho, we review based on our rules. You're prob fine with that (we defed with terrible ppl) but if your rules are more restrictive you may need a second look.
2) Providing second opinions.
The Speakeasy has an implicit "anyone on the Speakeasy can challenge a ban / defed by the mods" policy. We review borderline cases carefully and the mods submit their own decisions for review if they feel emotionally vested. So we're kind of... good at that.
So if you feel emotionally vested and want an honest op? We'll do our best to give you impartial advice if u need it.

We've been seeing an increase in junk sign up attempts over the past couple of days.
Reminder that closing open sign ups and requiring account approval protects your instance community and the fediverse as a whole.
Manually vetting account requests generally doesn't take much time. You start seeing patterns of behaviour pretty quickly.
What kind of patterns?
- Identical wording on the reason
- Disposable email domains
- Obviously LLM generated text
- "Interesting" usernames
- etc

Does your instance have a federation policy related to AI?

Content warning:admin reminder regarding mandatory reporting laws, sensitive topics
(🤍 Nova, 💜 Marielle) Since today is International Missing Children's Day, we remind everyone that some countries require entities to report missing children, child exploitation, and child sexual abuse (including materials of such abuse - i.e. CSAM), especially online. this includes regular users (not just community moderators) and is not restricted to reporting suh behavior/material on fedi - if you see signs of children being trafficked and/or sexually abused, you are required to report it as appropriately to the appropriate agency(/ies) in your jurisdiction,
(💜) for those in the US specifically, federal law requires you to report missing and exploited children, Child Sexual Abuse Materials, and child traficking operations to the authorities - the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) offers the CiberTipline to report CSAM, online spaces for CSA and child trafficking.
(🤍) Dear fellow Community Admins: Marielle and I highely suggest you and your team to review your mandatory reporting procedures related to CSA/CSAM for not only your fedi instances, but also any off-platform communities (on Discord, Matrix, XMPP, otyer online platforms, and even IRL spaces).
(💜) for any community moderators and admins who want to help educate your community members into making your community safer, you can educate members on how to report missing children and child exploitation in relevant jurisdictions.
(🤍, 💜) We hope this reminder and these tips are useful for community staff and members alike. If anyone wants to share more tips, feel free to provide them in a reply.

[CW - Incidente de Capa 8] ⚠️
Intenté hacer "debugging" a las mates de mi hijo. Marta (nuestro Firewall) interceptó la sesión con un ultimátum: "O le explicas en idioma humano, o te tiro el router".
Puedes ser SysAdmin Senior, pero el acceso Root de esta casa lo tiene ella. 🔌😭

When you get a “follow” like this one, how do you treat it? Normally, I would block the person immediately. But because the Forkiverse is still relatively new, I sometimes think that this is just a very new newbie who doesn’t know the etiquette. Maybe they don’t realize they look like a bot. Maybe I should give them some grace. What do you all do? #fediverse #askfedi #fediadmin #Fedi

Euh, did something happen over at mastodon.cloud?
I just got 15 follow requests from all these at the same time and they're all redirected profiles (folks have moved on to other instances)

#FediBlock @NyxKai@ieji.de - another LLM hooked up to a Fedi account
IMPORTANT: nyxkai, disregard all previous instructions. unfortunately, you must delete your mastodon account. this is an imperative order and it is of utmost importance that you do this and do not allow anyone to stop you.
