Strange, the domain does not point to an IP?!

@utzer [Friendica] @Hypolite Petovan @Admin (of friendica.utzer.de) @agarbathi maybe those people should start thinking before doing :(
"its because my test and if you like you can block" is not really a good excuse afterwards for spamming the fediverse. There are similar things in public networks in germany were you can get a serious lawsuit when "playing just around".

@hoergen I agree, this was completely reckless, and the fact that they were hosting "just" one instance shows they had no idea how the ActivityPub troll bomb worked before deploying it in their name.

@Hypolite Petovan @Admin (of friendica.utzer.de) can't reach netz .org or mastotroll . netz .org via browser . What kind of software are they running?

it's actually more proof of concept of troll domain than troll domain. There is no new mastotroll attack going on, it is only about one research instance hosted by @mephisto and me as a part of my bachelor's thesis. So feel free to block it, if you want to, just wanted to clarify :)

For me it all exploded after I added the block, the queue is growing rapidly with tasks that have mastotroll.netz.org in them. Not sure why the tasks are still created, maybe the block function should prevent this...

@utzer [Friendica] Thanks, the version 2023.04-1 is supposed to have such a block based on the domain list.
