>Your identification of the account was carried out through automated processing (scraping)

To be clear, I spend roughly two hours per day, every day, manually reviewing accounts, looking at over 150 instances. There is no scraping of any kind. Just me and my mouse.

I have two lists, the new one starting in April. Any accounts not suspended on the old list were brought forward to the new list, generating new reports for older accounts.

Over 2,000 accounts now being tracked on the Russian Botnet infecting the fediverse.

35% of them would be silenced or suspended by the IFTAS AUD list.

Today marks a significant moment in the life of the Fediverse. Leadership of Mastodon is transitioning from Eugen Rochko @Gargron to Felix Hlatky @mellifluousbox who steps into the role of Executive Director.

Eugen’s contribution to the web cannot be overstated. His vision, persistence, and commitment built the foundation so many of us now stand on — including thousands of independent communities committed to better social spaces.
