@Doll @hidden @Dicey You can be minding your own business, actively refusing to herd cats, and if your computer participates in this network, people will yell at you for herding the cats wrong. If you're not careful, sometimes you will get goaded into actually attempting to herd them.

> every instance has at least one conflict going on with someone.

All you have to do is have your instance stay around long enough and care about anything and someone that dislikes that thing will eventually decide that you're the worst exemplar of everything that is wrong about that thing.

In this case, bot had previously been deactivated (and was also the reason I had to write the Iron Dome), but her account was re-enabled after I wrote the auto-translator. IDIFTL

@Doll @hidden @Dicey I can't imagine what was lost besides a long series of complaints that FSE had her preferred policy on loli but she didn't like the *reason* it was not permitted. I hosed her account when it took me eighteen hours to see a report about actual CP (on another instance, thankfully) because I was flooded with threads about her neurotic fixation on drawings. Anyone does that kind of thing with that kind of result is irredeemably more trouble than they're worth.

@judgedread I have that old copy of the code where I dug up the cause of the deletions being ignored, but I forget where the repo is. It'd be interesting if someone had dug it up, what are the things you see when affected by their style of shadowbans?

Yeah, I mean in the sense of "What are the symptoms?"

> Not all of their posts appear in your general feed.

> Gab also randomly unfollows a certain number of people from their enemies.

If they're running something else on the backend, this might not be part of the code and wouldn't have to be in the repo.

I don't know how this is structured in Mastodon or how they changed it in Gab, but t

> HIJACK MY ACCOUNT to like and allegedly repost (thought I never saw it in my feed) posts from fed SomeBitchIKnow. I'd visit her profile (investigating her perfidy don't you know) and by god, a bunch of her posts showed I liked and reposted them! Same for the loathsome Catturd. But that's the inverse of shadowban - shadowboost, as it were.

Twitter did this for a while. When they first implemented "Like", I was suspicious that it was some sort of data-grab and never used the feature. A while in, it showed me having liked a large number of posts; I thought that I'd perhaps clicked it on accident, but a lot of them were posts that predated the "Like" feature by years.

> There was a company pulling every post off TWKN feed of FSE for quite a while specifically for the feds.

That was Boardreader.com, which is owned by SocialGist. They were monitoring for threats against "Blackrock Executives".

Very recently some dickhead professor from the Sloane Business School at MIT was scraping a large number of fedi instances. He turns out to have been on fedi ( @Drand ) and he says he's really sorry and swears that it was an accident that he deliberately changed his scraper's user-agent to pretend to be a browser and then hammered the shit out of fedi. Some time later, he turns out to have shown up in the pitch deck for a grant from the NSF, he's on a team that wanted to help social media companies avoid the PR blowback when they get caught censoring "misinformation". ( https://screamshitter.club/rvl/full/835374c1bfa10895663d4d1c94500049823ea928fb7e9c47b01a6b7f8f07c091 ). There's a thread about it: https://nya.social/notes/818c3d1bdb3e20788eb08e25

Tangentially related, NATO SC was scraping nitter.poast.org, but they were only scraping their own account UA belonged to an electronic sign or something, probably they were just trying to get their Twitter posts onto a sign in the lobby without having to go through the Twitter API.

There have been other IP addresses that belong to government buildings sniffing around, a lot of them are just browsing. There are a handful of scrapers that remain mysterious. Probably more are coming, which is retarded because you don't even need to scrape fedi to get all of the posts.

  there is currently a bot inside MIT IP space, address `18[.]4[.]38[.]176`, scanning fedi at large. i have confirmed this with 5+ unrelated instance admins, large and small instances, across mastodon/misskey/pleroma/akkoma. the bot is poorly behaved. i have observed it making repeated requests, multiple times per second, for the exact same paths (the paths being, generally: user profiles, specific posts, and sometimes following links in posts). returning 403s does not stop this activity. one of my domains received hundreds of additional requests despite replying with 403 to all of them. i have also seen it make requests for paths containing html tags - seems like a badly written parser. the purpose of these requests and what data is being gathered is unclear. PTR on the ip returns `sts-drand03.mit.edu`. a quick web search for "mit drand" brings back https://mitsloan.mit.edu/faculty/directory/david-g-rand and his personal website: https://davidrand-cooperation.com/ (note: other IPs in the /24 also have names in the PTR which match up with names of MIT faculty, but only the .176 IP appears to be involved in this activity). seems he's doing research into "misinformation" and "fake news" on social media. he also appears to be on fedi! so @Drand@techhub.social, given this activity is sourced from an IP with your name on it, could you share the purpose of this traffic? what data is being collected and how is it being used? do you plan to respect robots.txt or identify yourself in your useragent? is there a process for instance admins to opt out of this activity other than blocking the source IP?

@judgedread I finally saw Repo Man last year and it may be one of the most important films of its era.

TANGENTIAL ADDENDUM:

Hey, you check out https://iddqd.pub/ ? @NEETzsche has printing presses up and running; apparently iddqd.social wwas intended to be a companion instance to the magazine, but the lockdowns halted the plans. It's intended for sci-fi/TTRPG/conspiracy theories, he was soliciting additional writers (small amount of pay, no set topic, I think the way he described the audience was whatever "a very smart auto mechanic" could wrap his head around), you might be interested, like I mean this in the best possible way, but I suspect you of having some unfinished sci-fi short stories. I don't even remember which instance I was on for that conversation, I think it was on bae.st.

I did not sleep last night.
