Hello !Friendica Support can someone share with me the activity pub troll domains, those bad actors I should put in the server block list?

would I add *.example.org oder *example.org or which is the correct way?

#Friendica

There are two good lists here (and one that's not intended for general use): seirdy.one/posts/2023/05/02/fe…

I downloaded the FediNuke.txt file and uploaded it under "import server domain pattern blocklist". It worked OK, but then I was unable to edit the list of servers because they all had an empty reason field, and it wouldn't let me submit changes unless I filled in all of them! So I eventually did some tedious back-end database hacking. It's possible that you're really supposed to add a second CSV column with the reason.

@Matthew Exon sorry I should've explained it better.

There is some bad actors in the Fediverse that send kind if bombs to the other servers, one is activitypub-troll.cf, with thousands of subdomains that claim to have millions of users and servers discovers these users/servers and the queue for discovery get blocked/stalled for a long time.

I need the domains of other servers like this and need to know how to add them to the server block list.

@utzer

*.activitypub-troll.cf

This formatting works great for out instance.

@Raroun thanks.

And *.activitypub-troll.cf is the only entry for bad servers like spammers and such?

baraag.net Illegal Content
pawoo.net illegal content
milker.cafe P*rn without NSFW tag
*.activitypub-troll.cf Malicious use of the ActivityPub protocol
*.gab.best Malicious use of the ActivityPub protocol - also extremists
https://gegenstimme.tv/ Conspiracy theories and fake news
*.brid.gy Data Scraping
social.cutefunny.net Massive Spam
cunnyborea.top Massive Spam
noauthority.social Extreme right wing, also spreading of holocaust denial
cum.salon P*rn without NSFW tag
cum.camp P*rn without NSFW tag, also spam and offensive language
minds.com Right extremist accounts, data aggregation and monetizing

This ist what we have. It´s a very short list compared to other instances, but works fine for us without getting spammed 😀

the domains

*.activitypub-troll.cf
*.gab.best
*.brid.gy

are known for abusing the Acitivity Pub Protocol.
