🐲​​Friday ACAB🐉 @dragonmagic@computerfairi.es

Sometimes I see posts on here like “mastodon is too serious and businesslike, it needs more selfies and shitposts” and I’m like are we even using the same website but then I remember we very literally are not

please continue to wear at least a kn95 or n95 quality mask in public to protect yourself and other people

the pandemic is not over

People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!

you know how Fedi is email but gayer? it has most of the same spam vulnerabilities without the thirty years of countermeasures. check the n f t hashtag on dot-social, that's a pretty good preview of how bad the general spam problem is going to be in a few weeks or months.

expect:
• hashtag spam
• follow spam
• reply spam
• probably a lot of apps/websites that claim to show you your top toots or who's blocking you or whatever, but are going to be asking for overbroad API tokens that let them post spam, or straight up just asking for your password
• all of the above plus spam posts to followers, coming from compromised accounts, especially on major servers with closed registrations

i'm not saying this to be alarmist, i'm saying this to remind y'all to support your instance admins, because this is going to get messy and the only thing standing in the way is a couple of admin meta hashtags and loose web of volunteers with not enough free time.
