@LeberechtReinhold I can understand why it was done in the first place, but MS just blindly signing anything they are given is stupid, they should at least disallow binaries packed by themida or vmprotect.
vmprotect on a driver is an indicator of compromise, especially if the cert/opus info references a chinese entity.
@silverbax what are the odds on that being the same or similar for every other centralised social network? they only care about that magic MAU value and will tamper with it as much as possible to sell ads.
"ad fraud" is just something EVERYONE seems to be doing, and the big players just do it bigger.
@various_characters as far as I can see, the links are going to the original site (worldtracker[.]org), which is now redirecting to some sketchy website...
@crossmr thanks for this post, this server has been involved in spam for almost two months so I alerted the microblog side of fedi
I noticed dnc@vive.im was followed by two kbin.social users, and kbin has an "interesting" feature where a microblog post goes into the magazine named after its first hashtag (if it exists), hence why your subs are getting them
i think the two kbin.social users might have followed this user by mistake. i checked their profiles and they both look legitimate to me.
@ulu_mulu I noticed; however interestingly my server didn't get sent the comment (probably because I don't follow the group, or maybe because I'm too impatient)...
I guess for lemmy something like this would be an edge case though?
@anirbanbiswas I know you can on kbin (and all remote posts that aren't in a magazine go into a "random" magazine)
I'm not sure if you can on lemmy. Reading the documentation, you should be able to paste their URL into the search box, but it's not working for me on your server (although I'm not logged in there so that may be the reason why).
@wason not sure about lemmy. i know kbin has support with its microblog functionality and how any post coming in from a remote server that isn't to a group goes to a "random" magazine
I don't follow any groups/magazines/whatever directly from mastodon (because they'd clog my feed).
However, you can copy the post or comment links, paste them into the search bar in mastodon, and then boost/favourite/reply :)
It's a little bit awkward, but you get used to it.
Favourite in mastodon turns into an upvote on the lemmy/kbin side. Boost doesn't really do much on lemmy/kbin (yet) but does increase reach on the mastodon side as it always does.
And replies, naturally, show up as you'd expect :)

@wmrch fritter got a commit that fixed it recently, not sure when a new version will "officially" release but you can download the github actions apk for that commit and keep using fritter : https://github.com/jonjomckay/fritter/suites/14085021499/artifacts/787559184 :)

@itmightbethew yeah, on mastodon it's definitely better to be on a smaller server rather than one of the big ones.
i can definitely understand about "posting into the void" especially on mastodon.social in 2023 with how big it is now.
@runswithjedi I don't, I just use the web UI, both on desktop and on my phone.

@abff08f4813c so "ex-FAANG" managers coming in for their CIA sabotage manual any% runs isn't just happening at discord?
makes sense to me
@Hatchet i mean, this one is technically already different
i can comment from mastodon
you couldn't do that with the other "alternatives"
activitypub is great
@mondoman712 nice to know there's a test group for next time i want to test things, thanks
do you know if there are any test groups on other servers?
@GuyDudeman hey, the comment actually got to me this time, nice to know it was probbaly more of a federation issue for that server
anyway, seems that for lemmy, it just goes to the first mentioned group (not any others) for now.

@Evono other than the PWA, I don't know
@Zeth0s Not sure about lemmy, but I know you can from kbin (it has a "microblog" section for that)
@DarkTides that's one of the great things about using an open protocol
sure the UX is basically non-existent, but it works!
hopefully a better client will happen eventually to make it easier for people to understand.
@DarkTides yeah! they both work with activitypub!

@DarkTides @db0 i mean, i'm commenting on this thread from mastodon so...
