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 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.
@stux
I’ve seen some and blocked and reported with prop.
@stux
Election year. Get ready.
