🥥 Oh look!
#Spamming has begun on the #Fediverse!
Just today eye got my first ad for a get-rich quick scheme:
https://mastodon.social/@brenda_maria/111007924392438580
PS: No thank you. I liked #Mastodon the way it was when I got here. 🥥

@deilann The problem is that proactive screening of signups doesn't really work and demaning it would most likely just be weaoinized to demand all social networks to instate "ID Verification" instead...

Which is a terrible idea for more reasons than it could 'fix'...

I'd only thing that works is #moderation and enforcement of rules...

Personally, I'd rather deny-list all #Freemailers and #eMail from #Domains that have #WHOIS #privacy or are known for #Spamming instead.

"The only areas where #AI is flourishing are #shamming, #spamming & #scamming"

Wenn ich richtig bin bedarf es für die Vermittlung von Krediten in Deutschland eine Lizenz seitens der @BaFin, oder?

Genauso wie die Bewerbung von #Waffen ohne Hinweis auf Notwendigkeit von Erwerbsberechtigungen verboten ist, oder @bmi ??

Wem darf' ich den illegalen #Spam den ich diesbezüglich täglich bekomme zukommen lassen???
@bsi vielleicht ????

@riedler @lexd0g I wounder at which point the @BNetzA would actually give a.damn, or Do I first need to provide them with overwhelming evidence that #GoDaddy literally supports illegal #Spamming?

#Hashtag #Spamming with #Porn

Yeah

That tracks

#AI #GenerativeAI #Spam #Spamming: "The Enlightened Mindset's formula for success is one that other would-be AI spammers may well follow. From where we're sitting, it looks like someone bought the since-abandoned URL of a formerly reputable website — which gave the site some decent search juice from the get-go — and then filled that URL with thousands of pages of misinformation-laden AI-generated content for scale.

The internet is already full of spam, said Binns, "and [generative AI] is just going to supercharge that."

It underscores again that generative AI is very good at making things up, and very good at delivering those hallucinations confidently. And if you've had any kind of digital presence in the past few decades, generative AI systems are probably trained on you; somewhere, on a synthetic content-packed site like Enlightened Mindset or by someone's simple misuse of programs like ChatGPT and Bard, your control over your digital self might be slipping further away."

@Nika2022 @solarmerps sadly #GDPR doesn't ban #Spamming the way it should be, and @BNetzA and @verbraucherzentrale ain't do to do jack shite unless the spammers literally self-d0xxed themselves with a German phone number and/or adress...

@JessTheUnstill I'm just gald that #SpamCalls and #SpamSMS are illegal and that @BNetzA literally disconnects violators within minutes after being reported...

#ZeroTolerance for #Spamming is the only way to deal with it.

That being said they sadly don't pursue #eMail #spamming at all...

I parted ways with the 45yo sub that I met on #KinkD. I have some reflections on that platform. I found one reason people may spam likes. I had a strange #dream.

@divinitytails @fuchsiii problem are shitty registrars bought by #GoDaddy...

Also the fact that @BNetzA doesn't even try to enforce the ban on #Spamming via #eMail (aka. any unsolicited #eMail and #SMS to an individual is a felony) on paper...

Ne yazarsam yazayım, hangi sunucuda yazarsam yazayım #Spam cevaplar geliyor. Mastodon’da inanılmaz bir spam dalgası var. Çok korkunç. #spambots #spamming #mastoadmin

@mastodonmigration @profcarroll

1. I'm not scaring anyone.

2. I see the problem that the :fediverse: is centralizing in a single instance like mastodon.social :mastodon: as a real issue.

3. Just like #Spamhaus's denylistings, such community self-defense actions are dynamic and not 100% permanent...

4. It's good to see #spamming being not just frowned upon, but actually acted upon.

@mastodonmigration actually it's more #spamming of #DM's and yes I myself got one...

And whilst kolektiva.social did temporarily defederate mastodon.social until they fix the #Spamming, I think this is reasonable as approach...

#FreeSpeech doesn't mean #ConsequenceFreeSpeech - same goes for #tech.
If one's #spamming or hacking too much they get #NameThem [ https://www.spamhaus.org/rokso/ ] & #BlockThemReportThem [ https://www.spamhaus.org/drop/ ] free of charge...

@mastodonmigration depends...

In the end it's up to every server & instance admin to make a decisin.

Personally I'd recommend people who can to do #SelfHosting.

Also based off #TooBigToBlock issues with #eMail - #Spamming, I think we need to avoid creating the #Fediverse :fediverse: - equivalents of #GMail :gmail: , #YahooMail :yahoo: & #Outlook.com where said hosters get away with ignoring #abuse #reports...

Sometimes a precendent must be set and "Fix your spamming or GTFO" is reasonable.

@stanford I'd #blacklist their #mailserver due to unsolicited eMails [#Spamming] until they apologized for their #Spam...

That usually works well.
