さて、ちょっと止めて、データベースメンテ始めるね。 there's a specific fedi instance ending in .estate (you've probably seen it if you're a #mastoadmin or #fediadmin) that's been a hub for all sorts of problematic stuff. I have just sent an abuse report to:
長引くようだったら状況は #fedibird に流すのでよろしくー

Content warning: the knock-on effects of open sign-ups
What happens when you don't vet sign-ups is that mods on other instances who value the safety of their users have to pick up your slack.
The extensive work illustrated in the linked post (from @…) is also taking place to varying degrees on every other instance which still federates with mastodon.social and the other open-sign-up ones.
This is like house-sharing with someone who repeatedly leaves the front door unlocked.
Yes of course there are much horribler instances, but those tend to be blocked wholesale in my part of Fedi. Among the instances we do federate with, the spam & scam accounts I see are nearly always on m.s.
If mastodon.social mods (who apparently are paid!) were to make people introduce themselves before approving new accounts, then a lot of this spam wouldn't be getting in the door. Quash once at source, save multiple other people from having to repeat the same work.
I appreciate that they're trying to make it easy for newcomers to join, but at what cost? And is an intro message really beyond the typical non-techie person? I think there are some considerably higher barriers to adoption than that. Not convinced it's a good tradeoff.
I don't actually want this instance to defederate from m.s, because lots of the people I follow are on there. But I can really see why people sometimes do.

is everyone doing #FediCircles now? fair enough, I suppose.

Federation problems is just something we have to live with in the Fediverse.
Federating has its pros and cons.
I'm Swiss. We know these things.

Question for #Fediverse experts: There's a new community I became a part of that communicates primarily through a #Signal group atm.
Pretty good (#Whatsapp is still the standard here) but they're not completely happy with it. One of the reasons I heard was that they'd like some way to organise #events, hold #polls, distribute #files and other info..
Is there a #Fedi #platform that offers these things? Or would something like #Nextcloud be a better option?

Wurde am #Fediday eigentlich mal thematisiert, das man zwar unabhängig von US tech ist, aber die meisten Registrare mit beliebten TLDs alle trotzdem in USA sitzen? Und falls es mal wirklich zu einem Ernstfall kommt und das abgeschaltet wird, sehr sehr viele Fedi Instanzen offline sind?
Die Jungs von Punkstodon.de haben dahingehend Glück, ich mit punk.photos hätte auch Pech

It flipped 20m before I arrived at home. Being angry at first that I missed it so close to take a very comforting picture.... I then decided to welcome it as a way to trigger #fediverse‘s #innerMonk . You're welcome
