@bob I see this in my timeline but not in notifications fyi

@liaizon @bob I think it's something to do with how Mastodon generates notifications. Maybe it only notifies about replies under particular conditions, whereas in Epicyon there is a separate replies timeline.

@bob @liaizon Doing some ActivityPub archaeology, it looks like I need to implement the replies collection in a slightly different way.

@Moon @liaizon same, and agree, the names sound rather fake ,or extremely misguided normal people

@lebronjames75 @liaizon if they're following everybody they're probably fake.

@Moon
Yeah they are just mass following. Bot instance or poorly concealed glowie operation.
@lebronjames75 @liaizon

@Moon @lebronjames75 @liaizon they followed me, too. I'm not following any of them until they can prove they are real people. or at least bots that post good hentai.

@Moon @liaizon Yeah, I can confirm that this has happened to me too despite not being online at the time. It's really weird... I don't know how they found me. Something feels off about it, like it isn't natural.

@dansup that makes most sense

@liaizon @dansup I haven't yet, but they'd need to ask.

I'd say no and DNSBL them for good measure.

@MarcellusDrum @liaizon @humanetech Same!

@scribe @ephemeral cool maybe it’s all just organic

@liaizon @scribe organic compost?

@ephemeral @scribe the follow peak

@liaizon @scribe yes, sorry, got that. Just my bad sense of humour.

@ephemeral @liaizon If only we could recycle old social media accounts...

@scribe @ephemeral just take the archive of an old account and feed it into a horse ebooks account! Recycling complete.

@liaizon @ephemeral I'm shuddering and in love with the thought at the same time...

@glitchbyte it seemed to slow down today so maybe whatever it was has stopped
