I found a very large botnet in Brazil mainly and several other countries. And abuseipdb.com is not marking those IPs are a thread. We need a better solution.
I think a honeypot is a good way. Another way is to use proof of work basically on the client side. Or we need a better place to share all stupid web scraping bot IPs.
yeah I also use SFTP using FileZilla. Or like everybody mentioned including yourself, rsync to sync files across computers. Or even scp.
Exactly, Mbin has Interstellar. And Mbin also has an API, since that is what Interstellar is using.
I do not agree with you. Yes I’m a developer myself of Mbin. And I created Mbin. However, the problem with decentralization is that you still need to trust the developers who are building the decentralized apps. So within a decentralized ecosystem the centralized point are the developers and its project.
If you do not agree with Lemmy, you can go to Mbin. And visa versa; if you do not agree with Mbin devs, you can go to Lemmy, etc. Meaning you do need to have alternatives, otherwise choice is an illusion and decentralization is also an illusion.

That is why it’s important to also use other software than Lemmy like Mbin or Piefed. Users want choice and the Fediverse is only as decentralized as the software running on it. So please, think about this.
you can help jwt with Interstellar, its open source. https://github.com/jwr1/interstellar
Mbin also support PWA indeed, but we also have Interstellar.
Interstellar is the official Mbin app: https://joinmbin.org/apps
Would be nice if he promoted more fediverse platforms like Mbin :) Missed opportunity.
75 procent of X posts are fake and generated by bots. You kinda see the same happening with YouTube and Facebook as well. I rather have less context but higher quality comments, posts and threads.
The community and thus the people.
F-Droid?

You can host your own Mbin instance.
Welcome on board I guess?

I don’t agree at all with the lack of ambition.
Well the fact is yes, Mastodon is still relatively small compared to Facebook, X or Bluesky. Mastodon has actually 7,616,908 users total: https://fedidb.org/software/mastodon. Which is a huge number, but most likely a lot of bot accounts and non-active account to be honest.
Now the reason why is Mastodon is not as large as Bluesky is debatable. I actually blame ActivityPub protocol and the complex nature of trying to become a federated platform.
Let’s be honest now, most people do not care (or don’t have the technical knowledge) to understand federation or decentralization. Hence people will just jump to the easiest solution: A big centralized server, aka X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Bluesky. Same for search engines like Google.
Not really… We do have this wonderful list(s): https://github.com/firehol/blocklist-ipsets
And my firewall is using for example the Spamhaus drop list source: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/firehol/blocklist-ipsets/refs/heads/master/spamhaus_drop.netset
So I know its possible. And hosting in a git repo like that, will scale a lot. Since tons of people using this already that way.
