Here's a tip for #Mastodon admins to manage spammy (likely AI-generated) account requests:

I STG I’m considering making a blocklist for people who post “Peanuts”* AI slop
(I generally don’t use blocklists, but this one apparently pushes my button)
*”Calvin & Hobbes”, “Bloom County” & Miyazaki would also qualify; I haven’t seen any of the first two, but I suppose that’s a matter of time😡

I don’t know who could find this sort of piecemeal alert useful.

Bin wahrscheinlich etwas spät zur Party, aber meine Bubble ist gut kuratiert und meine Blocklist hat die Info lange von mir ferngehalten:

Didn't know CrowdSec until recently, but I'm quite impressed. Thought I'd share: I'm protecting my Jellyfin and audiobookshelf via nginx logs for a few days now and it's very promising, especially the proactive blocking via the global community list.
Now looking for a nice GUI (alerts/stats/unbanning) since the official panel's pricing isn't for home users. Please only recommend tools you've actually used (I know how to Kagi 😊!).
