In light of the US Election tonight, the network is expecting a wave of #spam, #harassment, and #misinformation, especially after Trump preemptively declares victory.#Admin s, do your #Moderators a favor and make sure you've got the worst-actor servers blocked.This is a list I have assembled of all the worst servers TechHub has encountered, with explanations. These are not simply things I saw on #FediBlock or #InstanceBlock, these are hardcore servers where I personally found serious reasons we could not have them on the timeline: #Racism, #Harassment, #Pedophilia, etc.I just added a couple more.You can download an importable CSV at...https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H6TljzFoEtZ23QE_vaGlJUl6bC7J1I4JWhile I encourage you to glance over the reasons, and reach out to me if you think there are any servers that shouldn't be there, I do not recommend going to them to check: many contain illegal content.Let's all keep Fedi safe together!

By the way, I didn't want to say this on the main post, and I'm even hesitant to do it here, but if y'all appreciate this and want to do something for me, I have a KoFi, and every dollar is highly appreciated.While I will continue to do things to support the Fediverse, regardless, if you'd like to give me a tip / donation for this sort of thing, it's at...https://ko-fi.com/rockstarraccoon

And on the subject of how we on the Fediverse should view the US Election, take a look at my post about my concerns about Trump and Elon Musk in regards to the Fediverse...https://techhub.social/@Raccoon/113422790338979550

@dj@ti.parcero.casa Golly, looks like I forgot to block you after all that talk about blocking Parcero.Casa for being block evasion by Parcero.Bond on #Fediblock / #InstanceBlock. I guess I should go fix that now...Parcero.CasaHate Speech / Harassment - Block evasion by Parcero.Bond, making the rounds to harass people.Attached is a screenshot of the interaction above...

@mynameistillian Hey @stux, you have a FediBlock here because of a user who has been repeatedly signed up for accounts on MSTDN to harass people on the network, ban and block evading, calling people "Zoophiles", etc.We aren't going to do anything here, but please figure out a way to stop the troll from spamming and harassing.- TechHub Moderation

@stux @mynameistillian Yeah, I was guessing they're rotating their IP. Remember that, if they're all from a certain range, you can restrict that range to be approval-based.I'll keep reporting them when I see them. Good luck.- TechHub ModerationCC @mawr because she was tagged in as staff.

Just reposting to the #FediBlock tag that @stux has put #MSTDN signups on Manual Approval for now, which should stop the harassment / spam from that one disgruntled guy. If you were blocking over this, please unblock them, as they are otherwise good about handling this sort of thing.Also tagging, because they should be more used, #InstanceBlock, #FediUnblock, #FediReconciliation, #FediAdmin.- TechHub #Moderation

@david David fuck off and stop harassing people. You are literally the last person to be calling anyone out for anything, and there's a reason half the network has you blocked.

@evan I worry that military intervention would be disastrous, likely escalating into a region-wide conflict that would drag in major Powers trying to wage a proxy war. While they might be able to get what they are trying to get with a very tight focus on very limited goals, I also feel like it's very unlikely they will stick to those goals once they have boots on the West Bank: going after Israel itself would be too tempting. If they went after Israel itself, the resulting War would have massive casualties for both sides, including a huge number of Israeli and Palestinian civilians. I really hope they can find a diplomatic solution to this thing, but unfortunately, as someone in the US, I really don't feel like I have any say in this anymore: the political party I felt I could influence on this no longer has any control over the situation, leaving it effectively at the will of Donald Trump, who can only be predicted to do what his whims believe will benefit him personally at that moment.

#PSA #Mastodon, nor the #Fediverse in general will never ask you to "verify" with payment details, especially not from a non-moderator account. If you get a message asking you to verify, it is a #Scam #Bot, and you should block and #report it to #moderation.We are currently getting a wave of #spam from bots like this. Again, do not even click the link, just block and report.- TechHub Moderation

#FediBlock / #InstanceBlock / #FediRacismspergia.net - overt hate speechNo idea how this slipped by me the last time I checked, but I'm checking around now, and this came up in a sweep. Tossing it up here for #moderation of other servers to see.

@stux @alice @valen1 I keep saying someone needs to make a code addition to Mastodon that lets you know when a new signup or post contains certain words: I found the guy on both mstdn.social and mstdn.plus just by searching racial slurs.

Closing the #EpsteinFiles for the night, but I have to call out someone in my field of #ComputerScience / #AI... #JoschaBach is saying some absolutely stupid shit in these emails to a convicted sexual predator. Like, seriously, him and #Epstein have a whole conversation about #Eugenics where he makes this #racist assertion that black people have lower IQs (a debunked metric) because of genetics and causally disregards all evidence otherwise.He then goes on to make standard #Malthusian claims about #overpopulation, calls for mass murder of the elderly, praises #GlobalWarming and #Fascism as drivers of his nebulous misunderstanding of "#Evolution", praises #StarshipTroopers and #TheManInTheHighCastle as arguments in favor of fascism, and then gushes over Epstein's embrace of #PoliticallyIncorrect (ie, #Racism, #Sexism, #Fascism) views.To parrot Ice T, "Joscha Bach is a racist piece of shit."

...and I think it's important to repeat this part of the Epstein Files, because we have to remember, these are the people who put themselves into these positions of power, who openly believe that democracy itself should be subverted so that they can be in control, because obviously, they would be our great and unquestioned leaders...And they are saying absolutely stupid shit, and basically calling for horrible things to be done in order to create some sort of eugenicist fascist Utopia.In the words of Michelle Obama, "they are not that smart."And when we see who they are behind closed doors? They are not good people either. The next time someone claims that fascists aren't around, point them to Jeffrey Epstein and a leading socio-political figure praising fascism, saying that global warming is a good thing because no one will let them violently purge people from society.

I mean jeez, this is fucking #Deathism.No wonder these people hate #EliezerYudkowsky if they literally want Global Warming to kill people. His casual Libertarian / Socialist musings are literally the antithesis of this racist sexist pro-death fascist idiocy, and he's literally spent the last 10 years screaming "don't let these people run society."In fact the fact that the people he was associating with here are so fundamentally at odds with #Yudkowsky speaks VOLUMES about his character, in ways that are making me reassess my issues with him: I'd take an entire #LessWrong worth of rambling Yudkowsky fans over Joscha Bach's brand of fascist deathism any day.

@wjmaggos @melroy Mastodon is the interface, the program that runs on the server to give you a way to read, post, and interact on the Fediverse. The Fediverse is the actual network, which has more interfaces than Mastodon: Misskey, Sharkey, Friendica, etc are also part of the Social Network here.
