In an attempt to reduce registration spam that has lately been affecting some Mastodon servers on Masto.host I will be applying a custom patch to Mastodon v3.2.1.
This will require a restart of instances hosted on Masto.host and cause ~30 seconds of downtime.
You can read the details here: https://masto.host/testing-custom-code-to-fight-spam-registration-on-mastodon/
Do let me know if you notice any registration problems with this patch and if you were getting regular spam registrations see if there is any reduction in the next days.

Since soapbox is using Pleroma it is no longer possible to detect new instances using fediverse.network. There are no gab instances anymore.

it's come to our attention that someone with an account on bigshoulders.city has been using their main account to textsearch posts to argue with on our timeline, including defending alt-right figures.
their local account has been silenced, and their primary instance blocked.
@saetron not going out of our way to find them, don't have enough time or energy for that, but when they show up in the mentions of our users lack of moderation will be considered reason to block
@fuzzylynx single-user instances are definitely exempt but it’s helpful if the fact they’re single user is made clear on their homepage
so-called "loli" content will be treated as indistinguishable from child pornography for the purposes of moderation.
We did not have a privacy policy, which was an oversight on our part. That's been fixed; it's now at https://bigshoulders.city/terms, and is basically identical to the mastodon.social privacy policy.
@amolith added, thanks!
@amolith actually, yes, so thank you for this reminder to implement one ASAP.

@SuperDicq we don’t need “windmills of peace” in this federation
instance blocks
@a1batross no
going ahead and blocking any instance with a "windmill" (swastika) emoji.
a previously-unknown nazi instance boosted this post, so I'm adding more blocks as the replies to this account increase.

@bgcarlisle did you undo this silence?
instance blocks
@gaige do you have a link to their code of conduct? i can't find one.
re: instance blocks
@snacks not in the business of charitable readings. if it's made explicit, I'll undo that block you requested.
re: instance blocks
@snacks your terms don't forbid harassment; don't have to make anything up.
