Unfortunately I couldn't find the documentary *The Streamers* on the internet yet (streaming or downloading, payed or not payed). It's in the cinema, but here in .nl only in Amsterdam, Tilburg (!?) and Zaandam (!?). Not in Utrecht and even if it was, I like to watch films at home. But if you can and like, please go see this documentary!

Fortunately a DVD/stream will be released at the end of august.

*Q&A about Facebook secrets with ‘The Cleaners’ director Hans Block* at de Balie (English starts at 2:49)

It's not only #Facebook, but also #Twitter, #Youtube (#Google) and #Instagram (Facebook again) are outsourcing moderation to the #Philippines.

That makes you wonder, especially after all these scandals we already know about Facebook and such, if people who still use these networks can sleep at night! Is it morally still justified to use these services?

No!

@Dwinkeltje @noelle About #Facebook: there's a documentary about Facebook moderation factories in the Philippines. Have to watch it myself.

@jpfox Yes, but Ultimate Bad Bot Blocker is also for Apache: https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/apache-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker

@dada @href @marseye @valere

@href I merged that naughty_list in Nginx Ulgtimate Bad Bot Blocker (https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/nginx-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker).

FYI: I added 'include /etc/nginx/bots.d/naughtylist-mastodon.conf;' at the bottom of /etc/nginx/bots.d/blacklist-ips.conf. Created /etc/nginx/bots.d/naughtylist-mastodon.conf with the same contents as https://gist.githubusercontent.com/patf/1ae99fdd15718483fc15b1e8c8f25fe2/raw/6764365b800e1e1509552338ba6be085a8731124/naughty_list.txt, but at the end of every line ' 1;'

@jpfox @dada @marseye

@jpfox I think it's better to make sure those 'bots' (I have a suspicion they are manually operated) can't sign-up after all. According @href https://gist.github.com/patf/1ae99fdd15718483fc15b1e8c8f25fe2#file-naughty_list_nginx-conf this should work.

@dada @marseye

@dada That's the same as here: https://gist.github.com/patf/1ae99fdd15718483fc15b1e8c8f25fe2

@jpfox @href @marseye @valere

@href WTF! The moment we talked here about it, I had three new mxsrv.mailasrvs.pw accounts. They/he/she probably watching our conversation!

@jpfox @dada @marseye

@href Maybe that is it, cause I use 'Nginx Bad Bot and User-Agent Blocker, Spam Referrer Blocker, Anti DDOS, Bad IP Blocker and Wordpress Theme Detector Blocker' (https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/nginx-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker). Let me see if I can merge those lists.

@jpfox @dada @marseye

@href Like old-fashioned thieves in the night 😉

@jpfox @dada @marseye

@href Aha last night! Todon.nl is invite only between 12AM and 12PM, but I don't think that can be it. Are the mailasrvs's only during that time period?

@jpfox @dada @marseye

@href I resolved the email domains of 120 recent accounts.

Result:

1 mxsrv.mailasrvs.pw
1 127.0.0.1

The rest is okay (lot of gmail, hotmail, protonmail, riseup and tutanota). A few suspended themselves.

I think a lot people try Mastodon out and in line with our consumer culture, they make an account, forget about and move on. Some of them remember and revisit the instance the next day, week or month(s).

@jpfox @dada @marseye

@href @jpfox @dada @marseye I read that toot, but the email domains seems normal. Let me manually resolve them and see what comes up. tnx

@href PC charger thing? No bells ringing here.

@jpfox @dada @href @marseye One of them did here, but they do that themselves, so it are honest bots.

@jpfox @dada @href @marseye It looks I have the same problem, but there are also valid accounts between them. Their email addresses and usernames seems to be normal, so it's hard for me to see which one is okay.
