Disabled signups for now, a lot of "random generated" users(bots) just signed up, all using "@mail.ru"

Little heads up for admins and mods

@stux Looks like russia is preparing to spread disinformation on mastodon too

I've blocked that email domain at the start.

@stux I tell people all the time to take a good look at who’s following them.

Some admins are not as experienced at catching this stuff and a few definitely don’t care at all about monitoring it. Word to the wise.

Thanks for alerting me to this @Snowshadow

@stux YIKES. Thanks so much for being on top of this.

@stux @admin haven’t seen us get hit yet, just a heads up!

@stux iirc mail.ru also has aliases list.ru and inbox.ru

@stux @mail.ru a good one to add to the domain block list... time to update the CSV file

@stux
Different server, but I also saw a post with hundreds of favorites from empty accounts from px.mathias777.com that are clearly bots.

@phi1997 @stux

I also had 2 accounts in my follower list from mathias777 dot com.
the dog account and another one.

@stux
I’ve seen some and blocked and reported with prop.
