<p>🚨 Scam Alert: "Verify your Fedi account" Phishing Attempt 🚧</p><p>Attention everyone on Mastodon! There's a scam making the rounds where malicious actors impersonate moderators or admins. They send private messages or make posts that mimic notifications, claiming that your account needs verification. These messages often include a link for you to "complete the verification process."</p><p>⚠️ This is a Scam!</p><p>Your server admin will never ask you to click a link to verify your account.<br>No other admin from any other server will either, even if they appear to be part of the main Mastodon team.<br>If your account is suspended, you won't receive a message about it. Instead, you'll see a notification upon logging in that your account is temporarily suspended.</p><p>How to Identify the Scam:</p><p>Fake admin accounts often use names containing "moderator" or "admin," but this doesn't mean they are legitimate.<br>Legitimate admins or instance owners usually have a badge or marking on their profile indicating their role.</p><p>What to Do:</p><p>If you receive a message or post urging you to click a link to verify your account, report it immediately.<br>If you have any doubts about your account status, contact your server admin or moderation team directly.<br>To verify the authenticity of an admin or instance owner, visit the "About" page of your instance. This page typically lists contact information for the real team administering your instance.<br>Always be cautious when interacting with accounts claiming to be from Mastodon or your instance's admin team.</p><p>Important Reminder:</p><p>Mastodon does not perform age verification. If you receive a message or post claiming to be from Mastodon or your instance's admin team, always verify its authenticity before taking any action.</p><p>Reporting the Scam:</p><p>If you encounter this scam, report it to your instance's admin team and use relevant tags, such as <a href="/tags/fediblock/" rel="tag">#FediBlock</a>, to help raise awareness.</p><p>Personal Note:</p><p>I'm not a cybersecurity expert, but I find this new scam in the Fediverse quite interesting. If you feel like sharing your experiences with me, I would appreciate it! I'm looking to collect cases and get a broader view of this phishing attack. Maybe I'll even try to write a report about it. Feel free to tag me in any relevant posts.</p><p>Let's stay vigilant and help each other stay safe online!</p><p><a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/scamalert/" rel="tag">#ScamAlert</a> <a href="/tags/phishing/" rel="tag">#Phishing</a> <a href="/tags/cybersecurity/" rel="tag">#CyberSecurity</a> <a href="/tags/onlinesafety/" rel="tag">#OnlineSafety</a> <a href="/tags/fediblock/" rel="tag">#FediBlock</a> <a href="/tags/staysafe/" rel="tag">#StaySafe</a> <a href="/tags/techcommunity/" rel="tag">#TechCommunity</a> <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="/tags/scamawareness/" rel="tag">#ScamAwareness</a> <a href="/tags/securitytips/" rel="tag">#SecurityTips</a> <a href="/tags/reportscams/" rel="tag">#ReportScams</a> <a href="/tags/verifybeforeyoutrust/" rel="tag">#VerifyBeforeYouTrust</a></p>

Can you please share a good intro to <a href="/tags/funkwhale/" rel="tag">#Funkwhale</a>? And what about a good instance?<br><br>A friend asked for a site to share her covers (she loves singing as a hobby) but don't want to feed the <a href="/tags/bigtech/" rel="tag">#BigTech</a>: maybe funkwhale is the right platform?<br><br><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/fedihelp/" rel="tag">#fedihelp</a> <a href="/tags/music/" rel="tag">#music</a><br>
<p>If you're on mastodon.social, you might want to move your account to a different server:</p><p>➡️ <a href="https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-ide</span><span class="invisible">a-to-join-a-big-server</span></a></p><p>The Fediverse is protected from takeover as long as we are spread out on many servers. If one server dominates, takeovers become easier.</p><p>Mastodon.social is currently 25.5% of the active Fediverse. This proportion is way too large and seems to be increasing.</p><p>Larger servers also tend to have worse moderation and are harder to defederate, threatening safety.</p><p><a href="/tags/feditips/" rel="tag">#FediTips</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a></p>

<p>Interoperability of Events in the Fediverse</p><p>Hooray! It is now official: We have been <a href="https://nlnet.nl/project/Fediverse-event-interop/" rel="nofollow">granted funding by NLnet</a> to support the realisation <a href="https://event-federation.eu/?p=828" rel="nofollow">the vision we outlined in our last post</a>.</p><p><p>Events are at the heart of social life and deserve to be treated accordingly in the Fediverse. […]</p></p><p>In addition, we will also investigate the Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider Specifications (FASPs) for discoverability and filtering of public events.</p><p><a href="/tags/fasps/" rel="tag">#FASPs</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/ngi0/" rel="tag">#NGI0</a> <a href="/tags/nlnet/" rel="tag">#NLnet</a></p>
