Between 5:12am and 6:15am UTC mstdn.plus was hit with 111 registrations that are part of the Japanese-language #spam , which were intercepted.
1. The accounts have "$USERNAME@chitthi.in" as email. (UPDATE: other tempmail.plus domains have been observed elsewhere.)
2. They appear to be solely using Tor exit nodes. (UPDATE: IP subnets removed; you can find a list of Tor exit nodes somewhere.)

@nf3xn @shoq @tchambers The bridge does not process private posts; see https://fed.brid.gy/docs#visibility . Unlike bird.makeup, if someone from Bluesky follows you, then it triggers a follow (request). You following any bridged account by itself doesn't allow the bridge to get your posts (even before he implemented opt-in), not to mention the bridge hasn't even launched. Also, the platform is long subverted due to how political fediverse is, and that leads to conflicts, not the other way around.
@janxdevil @shoq In https://github.com/snarfed/granary/issues/596 he's still working out how to federate reports.
@jbcrawford On top of what you said, I think Matrix also betted on the EU DMA way too much, that I feel like New Vector (and the previous foundation leadership) was more planning to coerce others (notably "gatekeepers") to adopt Matrix as an interoperability solution, rather than having Matrix actually become a platform in its own right. Of course, the current leadership is in a much better shape, but the damage is already done.
@crcdng Matrix (the federated chat protocol) also had an open source metaverse implementation called Third Room: https://thirdroom.io . Mentioned at the very end of https://matrix.org/blog/2023/09/matrix-2-0/ , Matrix.org ended its funding late last year, and no updates have been observed since... Honestly, I wish there are organizations working directly for this (so that they can have full attention) instead of just chasing fads with side projects...
@strypey Personally I approve his design either way, but I do not want to exclude other people's experience with Bluesky, should they have one. I also don't think it's a hill worth dying on given the outlash.
@shoq @tchambers It's not. If you look at the replies of my post you can see some object to this solely because they hate Bluesky based on some external factors...
@berniethewordsmith If there is a culture, it is that of fear. POC fear harassment because they don't have the tools. Project maintainers fear blowback even after consultations for several months. Instance admins fear defederation due to not being able to know the "whole story." ActivityPub advocates fear other platforms subverting the userbase despite gaping holes in usability. So on so forth. Consent is important, but the current approach is avoiding the hard questions about fediverse itself.
@MagicLike All homeservers on my list (which @haise linked) satisfies the moderation criteria (or at least appears to), and the majority of them are in EU. It's difficult to measure reliability but https://servers.joinmatrix.org/users.html provides a relative size comparison (most of them are in EU).
