@alxsim just been alerted to *.argyle.social which appears to just be stolen profiles all following each other, lots are "nature" or bird based accounts and i can see many are copied from ecoevo.social, is it a server we might want to block?
beige.partyRolloTreadway (@RolloTreadway@beige.party)Okay, having looked into it a bit more thoroughly: beta.argyle.social is full of copied accounts, exact - save for the lack of pictures - and I presume unconsenting copies of real people and organisations who have accounts elsewhere on fedi.
All the accounts appear to have lots of follows and followers, because they all follow each other.
You might want to look to see if there's an account in your name on that server? Although I'm not sure what you can do about it if there is.
There's also an alpha.argyle.social and a gamma.argyle.social - no other Greek letters as far as I can see.
Whatever it is, it's dodgy as hell and worth blocking the instances entirely.
@sarahdalgulls Thanks for the heads up. Yes there's indeed something really fishy, I've suspended those servers. Best case is just some test servers by someone, but still not okay to duplicate existing profiles.
@alxsim thanks Alex!
