Reasons
Sharing of Hasbara propaganda memes without interacting with anyone (the memes are the usual ones picked from Movement Against Antizionism, a propaganda page tied to the Israeli government)
Account specifically created to harass anyone who criticizes Israel (as a political entity accountable for its own political actions)
Same obsessive focus on me and @aral
Shameful attempt of framing #GazaVerified as an attempt of funding Hamas (source: https://mstdn.social/@froth/116362518765709100)

Just checked mastodon.art’s blocklist on fba.ryona.agency and saw several of my colleague’s instances getting blocked with a reason that’s completely false at all.
You good, dotart? Even being friendly with other sides is considered bad to your standards, and then an Indonesian instance of someone that i know (fourvo.id) is being marked as “Islamophobia”? You’re not even a muslim to begin, with yet you put a false reason on that one. In all of seriousness, Are you really wanna start a slander? dotart? if not, then can you explain with your “holy policy”?
I know mastodon.art by itself is already bad, But i never thought that it would be this bad.
Do you still wanna use their blocklist after this one, #fediblock ?

PSA: I have just cleaned a set of russian misinfo spambots from this instance.
⚠️ We moderate registrations, and have invites enabled. ⚠️
This is how they got in:
8 days ago (mar 29) they requested an account. The request did not appear LLM generated. The request was topical enough to meet our flexible informal threshold, and read as clumsy English.
6 days ago (apr 1) I reviewed and approved the account.
Their signup email accounts were from the emailondeck tempmail provider. Each domain was different. I only bother looking at the email domain if there are other red flags. (A lot of people who choose us are technical with their own email domains. Random domains don't stand out.)
They signed up from an IPv6 address and only ever connected from 1 IP.
They made 0 posts from this account. They did not set a profile. They did not set a PFP.
They created 1 invite code for 5 uses.
5 days ago this invite code was used to make 1 account. They did not post anything, nor did they set a profile or PFP.
That second account, and all other accounts, used IPv4. They also only connected from 1 IP.
Over the next 4 days, the final 4 accounts via that invite code were made.
These accounts set bios that were a few random words and an emoji. They made the non-hashtag variety of posts the misinfo accounts make; bland word salad poetry. They boosted a bunch of other posts to try look normal.
All IPs involved have been labelled by https://spur.us as
OPEN_ROUTABLE_PROXYand the IPv4 ones were also labelled asTOR_PROXY.The admin interface identifies the posts as using clients called "ssl", "scsi", "ib".
The cleanup procedure:
Ban the accounts immediately.
Deactivate the invite code immediately.
Review other recently created accounts and invite codes.
Write this all down for future reference.
Notes:
It's easy to be complacent when you've got account creations moderated or by invite codes.
Chances are that if I had not noticed, each of the active accounts may have created their own invite code. and there would have been another 20 or more of them.

If you're looking for a good place to flag advisories not just on domains but also on actors themselves, check out https://pelago.1sland.social
Once you log in with your fediverse handle (the credentials never leave your web browser) you can start reporting domains and actors, flagging them with labels if you want and even uploading screenshots and other documents here:
https://pelago.1sland.social/reports
This will populate a completely transparent feed. You can follow @pelago for announcements about updates to the community reports.
Community moderators have the ability to escalate advisories to recommendations (or retract frivolous advisories, perhaps), with the entire feed visible in FIRES.
Those who receive an advisory are welcome to also log in, contest the advisory or report, and provide counter evidence of their own (to the moderators, we aren't having troll wars in public here).
And if you want to use Pelago to set up your own FIRES server and create your own advisories for your own moderation network, you certainly can.
Feel free to log in, kick the tires, and let me know if you experience any issues.
You can find out more about FIRES, which is a protocol designed for composeable moderation on the Fediverse, an evolution beyond blocklists.
There was every attempt made to codify and set ethical boundaries in the software for this purpose.
If you just want to browse or consume the FIRES datasets directly, that's at https://fires.1sland.social.

the worst mistake that you can do as a single-user self host user is trying to follow a rules that you don’t agree on just to avoid yourself getting #fediblock -ed.
by that point, you’re just serving their instance than yours.

#Fediblock of: flipping.rocks
The admin is an #antizionist bigot who demands of Jewish users that they either toe the line on Israel or "go to Babka," a near-exact replica of the antizionist canard "go back to Poland."
Unlike #antisemitism, which runs on a logic of exaggerating distinctiveness, #antizionism runs on a logic of assimilation and litmus tests, thereby erasing distinctiveness (conform or face expulsion.)

The speakeasy has voted to suspend federation with mastodon.cloud due to their failure to update and their failure to moderate.
