recommended instance block: raki.social 

suspend raki.social, it's ran by some techbro who seems intent on datamining the fediverse

so far it's tried to follow everyone with two bots, one clearly marked (@riker) and one unmarked as a "social experiment" (@swift)

the person running the instance isn't clear on their intent with these bots, but they have mused on the fact that you can datamine with federation bots (raki.social/@33b5e5/1006751342) which seems to me like they want to hide their intent

there is minimal collateral from suspending this instance -- only 22 users with 103 statuses, most of the interaction has been said datamining bots

lol i've sat here for 5 minutes in a 4 player mutated storm mission and only one matchmake has appeared, he asked me to trade and then built a ramp and jumped to his death before leaving the game.

pleeeeease

battle royale is good but stw is absurdly addicting and i don't know how to feel about that

fortnite stw 

also research points are utterly bullshit time gating nonsense

me, at the beginning of the game: oh god i'm running out of ammo

me, 20 hours in: the nuts and bolts are coming in faster than i can use them

email being federated but eventually centralized was a byproduct of capitalism and not because such a design was a solution to abuse/spam, and we are led astray when we think this way.

abuse vectors require better, cooperative moderation tools, which we should be designing/building and stronger social support systems for moderators and their labor.
