in reply to IFTAS • • •Update:
Spam accounts continue to be created and volunteers are flagging them as we find them.
Roughly 80% of observed accounts have been taken down, and the observed usernames list is being updated daily (see above for link).
If you see a report for an account you believe to be a false positive, please let us know.

in reply to IFTAS • • •As a timely reminder, our DNI list includes 77 domains we strongly recommend for defederation.
Some are known to be expired, but they remain on the list for safety's sake.
Each domain is labelled and was investigated by human review. This is not an automated or consensus list.
A Mastodon format CSV for import is available at connect.iftas.org/library/ifta…
Inclusion on the DNI list means we are extremely confident the domain will never be retracted from the list.
