I have made a post about some Mastodon instances being associated with malware and explaining what I found: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/18688
I think it can be interesting for people who are #mastoadmin + would love to have people from #cybersecurity have a look and share any feedback. Thanks.
@hugo@masto.pt AV companies continue to do questionable things, no surprises
@yes
Who determine what is #malware and what is a useful service?
Another theme that keeps popping up is ppl on Fedi using (#)GriftHub.
Also as s part of a holistic movement towards #censorshipResistance, all instances should strive to federate over Tor or I2P.
We posit that federation over #I2P should be default because Tor don't like lots of traffic (eg. they don't recommend torrenting over Tor etc).
@hugo@masto.pt @yes@social.handholding.io In this case some of the examples are the opposite of small and decentralised, and I think that there is a separate problem this underscores of moderating very large monolithic instances
