I'm just ROLLING in Fediblock today🤦‍♂️

The owner of the previously recommended Awakari.com revealed themselves in a previous thread, so I called them out for it and then they doubled down so here they are.

Recommending Fediblock for user 'akurilov@mastodon.social' AND 'awakari_search@mastodon.social' for operating a data scraper and Fediverse content seller without Fedi's consent.

#Fediblock #Fediverse #Fedi #Mastodon

Recommending Fediblock for user 'Linux@sakurajima.social' and 'Linux_Is_Best@mk.absturztau.be' for ridiculous, unwarranted, and untrue accusations and harassment towards the Sharkey dev team.

The receipts are clear as day on their profile. I don't need to link them here for you.

These devs work on a project for free because they are passionate about the community. They don't owe you anything. This type of harassment over a website that they own is ridiculous and uncalled for. They've been at it for 12 hours straight now and that's a bit ridiculous.

This lovely person just dropped into my thread to be homophobic, he's the admin of zhub.link so I figure that's probably enough for a #fediblock. Receipts enclosed. See also his pinned post.

Recommending Fediblock for user 'YakyuNightOwl@mastodon.world'

Recommending Fediblock for user 'happy@happyfedi.better-than.tv' as they joined Fedi on April 22nd and have an absolute insane 24k accounts that they follow already.

This is obviously bot activity, hoping to get as federated as possible very quickly for some reason....😬

Edit: up to 48k now! This is insanity! Worse than that doggo account a few months ago...😳

I was hit with a pretty interesting report the other day - a user claimed some instance replicated their profile which isn't their official or real account.

I tried looking into the account or instance, but was immediately forwarded to spam and advertisement sites.

The instance is https://t.l3r.me/ identifies itself as a BirdSiteLIVE instance, that at least explains a "duplicate" account (the user was probably confused because this site imported their Twitter account with the same handle and name). However, I am not aware of any BirdSiteLIVE instance that automatically imports any user's accounts so that other instances index it allowing a user to discover it?

I tried importing my own Twitter account, which I don't use, and it didn't work. So it is not a functional BirdSiteLIVE instance (anymore)!

That is not the important part, however, what matters is that when you try to resolve the link, open an account on their page or interact with this domain at all, you're forwarded to advertisement webpages.

The link forwarded me to:

Maybe there's a possibility that this used to be a working Fedi instance and then once it was turned off the domain host turned it into a domain parking page for generating money through clicks (which would explain the ads).

The idea of an instance that duplicates profiles in order to generate fake clicks in order to make money off of ads seemed pretty grim, however.

Just wanted to share my findings! Stay away from this “instance”, block it, and delete everything stored in association with it!
