If you are a #MastoAdmin#FediAdmin, you may want to purge a.gup.pe from your server.

In Mastodon, go into admin > Moderation > Federation > Add new domain block. Create one for the domain name "gup.pe" (subdomains are included) with "suspend" severity. Once added, go into the details for the newly added block and you'll find the "Purge" button right at the bottom of the page.

⚠️ ⚠️ Once the domain is purged, the list of severed follows will no longer be available to local users. ⚠️ ⚠️

Hey Fediverse admins,

You might want to defederate gup.pe as it is no longer controlled by any kind of Fediverse service.

Apart from any theoretical risks of hijacked accounts, the amount of non-functional accounts it displays in search results will be misleading your server's members.

Every year we ask the community builders on the social web to tell us how they're doing, and what tools and resources organisations like IFTAS and others can be working on to support decentralised communities.

Last year we heard from roughly half the Fediverse, plus voices from other social media and community builders across the web.

If you haven't filled out our ten minute survey, time is running out!

HEY LOCALS!

Are you in any a.gup.pe groups?

Because you aren't anymore. The domain got snatched BEFORE expiration, surprising everyone.

(DO NOT USE .PE DOMAINS, they ALLOW this. It's insane.)

Here are more details:

You should find your people and set up a replacement group. People who know are suggesting:

https://about.fedigroups.social/home

...as one possible replacement, but there are others as well.

Also, see announcements for our limit and suspend schedule, I'm not waiting for the buyer to set up a better spam engine, because they will.

A general call-out to #fediadmin about whether they have been experiencing issues with site availability, specifically an on-again off-again bot wave that crawls publicly-available ActivityPub data at a rate so punishing that it overwhelms my server.

We had to turn on "I'm Under Attack" from the CF dashboard, but that comes with some not-so-nice tradeoffs (including blocking all automated crawlers, even the good ones.)

I initially thought someone just didn't like us (community.nodebb.org, actually), but now we've received reports of it happening to another NodeBB, and @silverpill@mitra.social's mitra.social is down for the count currently.

Admittedly, that last one could be unrelated.

Dopo una brave parentesi come moderatore @Shasa ha deciso di abbandonare il suo ruolo. Lo ringrazio per la disponibilità (e la pazienza) e gli auguro il meglio.

Attualmente l'istanza è alla ricerca di moderatori. Se conoscete qualcuno della Provincia disponibile fatemelo sapere!

It seems that community.nodebb.org is under a DDoS attack at the moment. We have enabled CloudFlare's "under attack" mode which has stopped the attack but it also has the unfortunate side effect of blocking all incoming ActivityPub traffic as well.

Interesting side effect. Will continue to monitor.
