The Mastodon developers started to implement telemetry for everything you search for: Posts, Accounts, Tags

https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/commit/acc77c3836974473e7c6a423cbd1138479ae197a

I'm not so sure if I like what I see in this commit. But we all knew it would be coming eventually.

So important that we build Mastodon-compatible server alternatives.

We've now limited 40 domains due to recent spam coming from them. All these instances have open registrations and automatic approvals.

Having automatic approval makes your instance vulnerable to scripted spam attacks. If you haven't realized that by now, you willingly put other instances and users at risk.

Unfortunately Mastodon only provides very limited moderation tools to counter these kind of attacks. Until then, please take on some responsibility and switch to manual approvals for your instance.

Edit: 62 domains

Is it possible to have a read-only server do folks can follow my Hugo site like with rss, or do I need to run full mastodon there?

@mms Your website server needs to implement ActivityPub, you don't need a full Mastodon server.

However, you need to run some dynamic backend, just static will not suffice:

Alternatively, you could use "feed2toot" (a python script), which reads the RSS of your website and posts updates on Mastodon server.
