I've had this happen intermittently on the web interface for ages</p><p>Not sure if this is true but I think it might be related to the popup autocompletes you get when typing in a hashtag or someone's username</p>
Jay<p>I think the answer is "No," but is there a Mastodon API for "posts that include this link" for trending links? This feature is in the web UI. <a href="https://social.coop/tags/MastoDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastoDev</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a></p>

poire de terre<p>Alright. Facts up front:</p><ol><li>There is a scraper/relay website by the name <code>fedi.buzz</code>. <a href="https://archive.is/Q0iav" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">It encourages users to go out and generate throwaway accounts and API keys on Mastodon servers¹ and then feed them to it</a>, so it can siphon the public feed off those servers while circumventing the login checks on the masto API, the server's blocklist, the blocklist of any servers they federate with, the authorized fetch mechanism, and so on.<ul><li>¹ Through empirical testing i have determined that <code>meow.social</code> and <code>mastodon.gamedev.space</code> contain accounts being used for this purpose.</li><li>Up until 2023 it did this scraping directly, using the useragent <code>"caveman-hunter/0.0.0"</code> and variants.</li></ul></li><li>The consumers of this data feed include a whole lot of Complete Shitheads. "Paraphile-friendly spaces", to use their own words. Zoophiles, "MAP"s. More commonly understood as "pedos". They get everything you post on public spoon-fed to them in realtime. There's no point naming them because you can not block them.<ul><li>Before someone gets on my ass about overgeneralisations or whatever, refer to point 1 and understand that anyone who chooses to use a system like this bears the additional qualifier of <em>a total contempt for boundaries and consent</em>. These are not defensible people.</li></ul></li></ol><p><strong>Concrete, actionable items for instance operators:</strong></p><ul><li>Check your database for any suspicious API tokens or consuming applications. If you see something that stands out as clearly being used for this, say something. Admins will need to compare notes.<ul><li>The nuclear option here is to just expire all unrecognised API tokens frequently. This will probably annoy legitimate benign ebooks bots and such, but it's also an effective way to make sure everyone knows this is going on.</li><li>Check your webserver logs to identify them too. The URL they use is <code>/api/v1/streaming/public</code>.</li></ul></li><li>Suspend any associated accounts. No warning shots necessary, just do it. If your terms of service are worth anything then they already forbid this sort of activity ten times over.</li><li>Block <code>fedi.buzz</code> at the network firewall: current addresses are <code>45.158.40.164</code> and <code>2a0f:5382:acab:1400::a4</code>, previously it used <code>81.201.149.152</code>.</li><li>Turn on authorized fetch. You should have done this seven years ago, but you should also do it right now. It doesn't prevent targeted attacks like this but it does force them into the light.</li></ul><p><strong>things normal users can do:</strong></p><ul><li>haha you're fucked. this situation requires leadership</li><li>don't post on public by default</li><li>make techbros feel unsafe on fedi</li></ul><p>okay yay have fun this network is hell <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.flussence.eu/tag/mastoadmin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastoadmin</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.flussence.eu/tag/mastodev" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mastodev</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.flussence.eu/tag/paypigs4harris" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#paypigs4harris</a></p>

doctorambient<p>Two things: </p><p>1. Has anyone written a thread composer app for Mastodon? I need that. I don't write a lot of threads, but when I do I really miss old Twitter's thread composer. </p><p>2. I have to admit that I am very popular with the bots of Mastodon. It seems like a lot of my well hashtagged posts get immediate pings but they're always from robots.

halcy​:icosahedron:<p>I've been wondering for a while: People seem to often ask questions about "how do I do X with mastodon.py" or "why isn't my code, that uses mastodon.py, working" into the void, or in some general forum. I don't usually see those questions, so even if I could easily help, I have no means to. It'd be great if people tagged me into these types of questions, or if there was a better venue for it, maybe. I've been thinking like sure just open a github issue, even if it's just a "how do I do X" type question, but I think most people are hesitant to?</p><p>What would be the ideal way to improve this situation somewhat? Any suggestions welcome, but of course especially if you've been in that situation. <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/mastodonpy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodonpy</span></a> <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/mastodev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodev</span></a></p>
