ways in which being a fediverse instance admin is a lot like being a cyberpunk edgerunner
• largely thankless job
• steadily upgrading hardware is necessary
• burnout is a certainty
• failure is guaranteed eventually
• it's just about how long you can keep going
• everything only ever lasts for so long
• you don’t make a name for yourself by how you live... but by how you die (aka whatever fedi meta drama ends up shutting down your instance)

Dopo una brave parentesi come moderatore @Shasa ha deciso di abbandonare il suo ruolo. Lo ringrazio per la disponibilità (e la pazienza) e gli auguro il meglio.
Attualmente l'istanza è alla ricerca di moderatori. Se conoscete qualcuno della Provincia disponibile fatemelo sapere!

Hey https://infosec.exchange,
Have a little data-breach incident?
Did you get hacked?

Dear fellow Admins!
I'm currently investigating a curious case of suspicious HTTP requests coming from several ASNs (mostly Brasil, China and France) and generating a lot of traffic. Traffic started around Aug 28.
The only common thing between therequests are the following **HTTP User Agents**:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/127.0.0 Safari/537.36
and
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/112.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
Does anyone else experience this as well? Is there anything known about those UAs being used by bots?
Could you guys check your access logs and let me know if you experience this as well? Thanks! 🙇

A onda de posts com o golpe de verificação de contas continua.
→ Você não precisa verificar sua conta no fediverso
→ Nenhum administrador vai cobrar que você verifique a conta
→ Nenhum administrador vai pedir de boa-fé os dados de seu cartão de crédito
→ Não há recursos de monetização no fediverso
→ Não há recursos liberados só para pagantes no fediverso
Caso veja um post golpista, clique nos três pontinhos e denuncie. Não clique em mais nada no toot.
Algumas contas antigas estão aparecendo impulsionando o golpe e talvez sejam de vítimas que caíram na armadilha.
Nesse caso, a dica é visitar Preferências > Conta > Aplicativos autorizados e revogar qualquer app esquisito ou não reconhecido.
Ative também a autenticação por dois fatores em Preferências > Conta > Autenticação de dois fatores.
Você pode verificar sua conta, mas é opcional e não envolve dinheiro. Você faz isso por conta própria:

Content warning:RE: fediblock for harassment, jimmy
@domo @mcourcel it seems these accounts always post an intro post whenever they’re created. following the @welcome bot if you’re a #mastoadmin or #fediadmin might be a good idea.
example: https://mastodon.scot/@Ramon/115127403472639682
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:
- the domain registrar
- the nameserver operator, and
- the gTLD owner.
Many of these places will remove domains that violate their policies if alerted to them, so if you are a fedi admin and encounter a troll instance, I suggest reporting it to all those places.
So, I found this quote somewhere on the internet about Fediverse server moderation:
> I can't believe I have to write this, but if you have no moderating experience—like, not even in a YouTube video's comments section—I would strongly suggest not starting a Fediverse server at all until you have help.
