They still haven't replied to the #botnet ticket on #GitHub 🤷

I was hoping they had addressed the issue when it was removed.


Created a #Github ticket for the #Mastodon #development team to make them aware of the #botnet issue:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/32384

The #botnet was banned by the #Mastodon team / @renchap it seems - with no further information :)

Decided to write another post about this topic, as the #botnet is still active. It includes more examples :)

Most of the mastodon.social #botnet we recently confirmed is still intact.

Only the accounts we all reported were banned, while the others are still active.

The #reports specifically mentioned that they are part of a larger botnet, to no effect.

#Mastodon #software seems to be great at automatically detecting obvious botnets, like the first example while struggling with #AI generated, higher-quality profiles.

@mypdns

Only those 3 because people reported them, the rest of the #botnet has not been disabled 🤷


I wonder if I have discovered a huge #Mastodonsocial bot net.

Look at the profile description, most of the (the similar looking) followers, names, posts (#AI made images), the accounts engaging with those & join date.

They seem to advertise the same 2 websites.

Examples:

https://mastodon.social/@thomasking
