 @farribeiro:matrix.org | Hello, good morning | 13:33:51 |
| @farribeiro:matrix.org | I would like good practice tips for dealing with volume bots | 13:35:42 |
| @farribeiro:matrix.org | I didn't find anything in the guide about it, even if they accept servers that let you create users at will | 13:37:51 |
 ꠸ꪮ | What are volume bots? | 13:38:58 |
| @farribeiro:matrix.org | It is an irc term that refers to accounts controlled by bots to cause problems for the server. | 13:40:21 |
| ꠸ꪮ | I see. There are different approaches. Some servers closed registration completely or changed to invite only, others enabled captchas or depend on email verification (or another third party medium), others changed to a completely out of band registration via sso, again others restricted registrations to specific IPs, like forbidding open proxies and vpn providers… | 13:44:02 |
| @farribeiro:matrix.org | A server is open registration without verification. Bolha.chat | 13:47:31 |
| @farribeiro:matrix.org | What can I do to help them? | 13:49:41 |
| ꠸ꪮ | They could just close registration until the spam wave is over | 13:51:26 |
| ꠸ꪮ | or anything else i just mentioned | 13:51:46 |

A server is open registration without verification. Bolha.chat is it getting spammed? | 13:52:58 |
| @farribeiro:matrix.org | Apparently not, but I noticed the creation of the random accounts. Possibly whoever controls it can try attacks | 13:54:25 |
| ꠸ꪮ | nice that they noticed. if they follow some pattern or so they can just mass delete them | 13:55:09 |
| @farribeiro:matrix.org | Good | 14:45:39 |

Hello, I am hosting a privacy and free speech respecting matrix server. Registration is done at a custom form found at: https://fx45.in since when have you been hosting it? | 14:21:19 |
| Satania | In reply to @austin:tchncs.de
since when have you been hosting it? Effectively started today which is why I am advertising it. | 14:22:05 |
| Austin Huang | In reply to @admin:fx45.in
Effectively started today which is why I am advertising it. come back in a month then, because recently a few servers shut down just after a few months' lifespan and so i have to make inclusion a bit stricter | 14:24:13 |

| Austin Huang | In reply to @admin:fx45.in
Sure, is there some other less strict homeserver list that I could put mine on? not really. asra.gr's list is automatic, and a few others explicitly promote hate speech, so... but i'll reduce the wait to, say, 2 weeks (so come back on may 5). if you want to advertise then i suppose you can announce it on fedi | 14:36:59 |
