@hexamanganite

When will #Pixelfed posters start editing their #Hashtag #Spam to a conventional #Mastodon format?

I'm about two heartbeats away from just wholesale #DomainBlocking @pixelfed dot Social

Why does one post get to consume so much of my finite screen space?

"Je viens de faire mon #eXit L’exode de X est massif ! Ne perdez pas un seul de vos followers. Grâce à #HelloQuitX j’ai inscrit 553 nouveaux passagers pour un voyage vers #BlueSky & #Mastodon. Embarquez vous aussi et retrouvez automatiquement vos communautés le #20Janvier"

Anyone have any idea what it is with @admin @ piaille.fr ?

That domain seems to be about the only source for the constant stream of what I call "HelloQuitX" spam

All virtually-identical in wording, pushing the same message:

"I just did my #eXit X's exodus is massive! Don't lose a single one of your followers. Thanks to #HelloQuitX I've signed up 553 new passengers for a trip to #BlueSky & #Mastodon."

I suppose getting off X is a fine idea but I become deeply suspicious when large numbers of identically-worded spam push one method to do so - all from one #Fediverse instance:

@piaille.fr

What personal information do people have to give up to use this service?

*That* is always the unanswered question

OK: to look at the web site you have to give up your Twitter login, your Mastodon login, and your Bluesky login

What's not to love?

I #Mute and #Block all of it, and I'm about two heartbeats away from #DomainBlocking the entire piaille dot fr domain

@ErikJonker

Given the amount of un-CWed hardcore full-contact homosexual pornography

and

the follows I get from bright-eyed "just wanna chat?" party girls

and

the amount of straight-up marketing spam posts I receive daily from @Mastodon I'm about two heartbeats away from #DomainBlocking the entire goddamn trash heap

It's too big, and it's out of control

Meanwhile our boy #Gargron is busy designing another line of plushies

Let me just copy-paste my post from yesterday:

"Personally, I'm about 90% there to #DomainBlocking @Mastodon

Little good seems to come from that instance, and *all* the dreck and trash I see *does*"

@vosje62

I don't want any replies from #Threads at all

I'm about two heartbeats away from #DomainBlocking Threads again

All I'm doing here is posting (rhetorical) questions about how/what Threads is claiming any of this works now

Welp

I'm on my #LiveFeeds - #OtherServers and in the top dozen posts @Mastodon is running two-for-two pumping out #Pornography at a faster than normal pace

Which is pretty bad anyway, but wow...

If I want #Porn (which I don't) I'll go to #PornHub (which I won't)

Happy New Year

Looks like #Gargron's Deathstar Mothership #MastodonSocial is still out of control

#Mute and #Block 'em all

About two heartbeats away from #DomainBlocking Mastodon Social and just being done with it

Update +1 hour later: think I'm up to about ten Mutes/Blocks and three Domain Blocks

Fourteen now

Finally reported some very explicit, #HardCore #GayPorn to @Gargron and #MastoSocial

Doubt it will do one bit of good

A screen grab from my data export page to demonstrate when you are successful at adding in your own domain block for Threads.net.
When you import your blocked_domains.csv fiie to your account via preferences - import and export - import.... Blocked domains added at account level show in the Data Export screen in the domain blocks line and the number of instances that are blocked
