Do blocked email domains include subdomains of those emails?

Lot of new bot accounts are putting a single random emoji at the end of their display name in hope of blending in.

#FediBlock @…
every single comment of theirs I have seen has been negative. i cannot find a single post they have upvoted. that cannot be a healthy way to live one’s life

Peculiar; Facebook appears to be brute forcing registrations on my Mastodon instance. Weird.
Ok, have fun with this "small" 10MB gzip file that definitely doesn't contain 10GB worth of 0's if it's decompressed.

fediblock seems like a good username to add to username blocks.

a lot of signups from subdomains of io.vn
is that a real place to get an email address? seems to probably be spammers.

Von Mastodon.cloud kommt gerade viel Nude Photo Spam. Weiblicher Vorname Zahl sind die Benutzernamen.
Die Beiträge sind alle gleich und haben eine .ru Adresse im Beitrag
Also obacht. #mastoAdmin #FediBlock

If your first follow is Holos Discover I think you MIGHT be a bot. I wonder what they are doing?

Mastodon Admin self hosters who are installed on standard Debian!
Have you moved to Debian 13/Trixie?

I got this account that signs up over and over again with the display name:
KaJuan Marcell Horton
anyone else know what's up with that?

Anyone know a reason to not find accounts that use a signup IP that is a known Tor exit node as a signal of being a bot?
I'm looking at IPs by doing: Query: <reversed-ip>.dnsel.torproject.org − resolves to 127.0.0.2 if it's a Tor exit.

success! Upgraded #footiMac to Debian 13/Trixie and brought Mastodon along for the ride.
Had a few hiccups...
1) I upgraded elasticsearch and ended up having to clear out its cache files as it didn't want to 'upgrade' them itself.
2) postgresql 15 and 16 are still running in the background and needed new timezones in their configs.
3) Charlock_holmes ruby gem was unhappy (as noted in recent Mastodon release notes) and needed: bundle install --force to actually get it to install again.
4) libvibs is not happy either, so I turned it off in the config file. This seems to be an ongoing issue.
Once those things were found and fixed, it all came back up.
Phew! Wonder what else broke lol
