️ Do not move your account to mastodon.cloud. If you know someone already on mastodon.cloud you might want to suggest they move to a different server.-Mastodon.cloud's admin hasn't posted since Feb 2023
-There doesn't seem to be any moderation, really awful bigotry is still there months after being reported
-The server software is very outdated and full of unpatched security holes
-Because of all the above, many other servers have defederated mastodon.cloud@FediTips Heads-up to @RaulKrauthausen who is currently still on that server. Would be unfortunate to get disconnected from that voice with wide defederation.

-Because of all the above, many other servers have defederated mastodon.cloud@FediTips with all the security issues, maybe someone could hack into the server and tell all users that they should leave.

@FediTips the same admin was responsible for mstdn.jp and pawoo.net, both of them also abandoned and running with outdated and unsupported versions.
@cadusilva @FediTips TIL those are all the same admin... and also this:
-
@FediTips I don't know, but generally when something web based gets pwned hard enough, sysadmins typically start to raise stink about it. If I spot port scanners or obvious stuff being run against the systems I maintain, I might fire an e-mail to their ISP's abuse address, depending on where they from. With China, Russia etc. I don't bother, US and Europe likely, the Nordics, very likely.

Name Servers: cruz.ns.cloudflare.com jake.ns.cloudflare.com@plutarch @FediTips Amazon doesn't give a fuck. I reported a huge botnet, got a reply that they could not verify the claim. I went through an internal contact I had to to escalate it. I heard that they basically had laughed at it on their internal chat, with the mentality being that I was some home hosting n00b who got scared when someone scanned them and that I shouldn't expose services unless I wanted them knocked all the time.
Just to bring some context, I set up my first public net connected services when these guys weren't not born yet and only reported it as a courtesy and only because it was relatively big botnet.

Yup, good idea. Just edited the hashtag in.

They had suggested adding the fediblock hashtag, so I did. Then they deleted their own post because it was no longer needed.
