CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@iftas
I just had a look there. There are a number of known scammer accounts set up on there, like Lillian, Tara, Elysia, and multiple versions of themselves.

I limited zirk.us for now. I didn't block it because there are a number of follow relationships here that I don't want to break.

Anyone on this server (hear-me.social) who gets an unexpected follow request from zirk.us ought probably not accept it.

@iftas
My understanding is that med-mastodon.com is also permanently shuttered.

@mikelovesbikes @homegrown
It's a large instance that is poorly moderated but still has plenty of legitimate members.

Because of this I've had mastodon.cloud limited here for about 2 years to allow follow relationships while preventing spam from spreading.

I don't recommend a block. I recommend limiting IMHO.
