A source of new Fediverse accounts is dev.brighteon.social.46,862 were discovered during the past day. Brighteon is known for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories all over Facebook and Twitter, and it looks like they’re trying their hand at the Fediverse now. I’ve looked at the accounts on that server, and the overwhelming majority look like bots. The goal seems to be spamming misinformation.I recommend putting brighteon.social on #Fediblock.https://botsin.space/@mastodon_daily_active_users/110107223841240128

@atomicpoet Brighteon is run by Mike Adams, a far-right antivaxxer conspiracy theorist. He was previously banned by Facebook for using overseas bot farms to spread misinformation. It also provides a platform to other notable far-right and antivaxxer conspiracy theorists such as Clay Clark, Bryan Ardis, and Ann Vandersteel, and is rife with election denialist, anti-LGBT, and fascist propaganda. I agree that admins should #Fediblock it. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/brighteon/

@atomicpoet Do you know to block an instance without first looking up a specific account profile? I glanced through my account settings and couldn't find it. Thanks for the heads up!

@tehstu @atomicpoet I searched the domain on my browser, copied a link to the first public post, searched that from my instance, and blocked from there. There might be a more elegant way to do it, but that worked!

@mlsc1209 Glad it helped! I only had to scroll a few posts down to find Alex Jones's account, and that was enough for me to block the whole instance with zero regret.

@atomicpoet I thought that dev instance of #Brighteon has been around for awhile. Was it non on #Fediblock already, just like the main instance is, I presume?

@atomicpoet @intelwire Brighteon is associated with Mike Adams, who calls himself The Health Ranger and loves nothing better than propagating quackery and conspiracy nonsense.https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/NaturalNews#fediblock
