That's quite interesting. There is a guy, or a team, registering on my Mastodon instance to post links to not well identified movie sites (haven't checked). They are quite active today, a few registered from Ukraine (maybe) others from the States. Could be using VPNs or an organised event.

Anybody else seeing that?

@paolo yeah, they're hitting all of us - @pfigel put together a list of CIDR ranges they've seen to make it easier to block some of them - they seem to be using open proxy servers, so it won't stop them completely, but it'll definitely mitigate the volume (at least it has on linernotes.club since I put Patrick's list into our iptables)

@djsundog
It doesn't seems to be automated. Seems like there are som sad sods doing it manually. @pfigel

@xvilo Did I said something wrong?

Sorry, it's the first time I see them so I don't have enough data to see what what is going on.

Here's another one...

@pfigel @djsundog

@xvilo
Can't be asked to nuke anybody from them tonight.

Plan is: stop registrations for tonight, look at logs and nice list created by @pfigel tomorrow.

Have a nice one!
