This does not look like human behavior. Again today, my Mastodon account is followed by dozens of new anonymous accounts, and they all follow exactly 40 other accounts.
@renchap I do not want to be reading tea leaves here, but can you understand my concern that this could be a bot net system generating spam profiles in bulk?
Can you think of any technical explanation why I am seeing so many similar accounts following exactly 40 other accounts?
I have had abusive emails, comments, social media posts, and entire articles. Today I received my first abusive _source code comment_. π

A Rare Sighting of the Pelican Eel...
The pelican eel's most notable feature is its large mouth, which is much larger than its body. The mouth is loosely hinged, and can be opened wide enough to swallow a fish much larger than the eel itself. The lower jaw is hinged at the base of the head, with no body mass behind it, making the head look disproportionately large. Its jaw is so large that it is estimated to be about a quarter of the total length of the eel itself.

So, practically. If Canada were to join the EU, what steps would be required? We'd obviously need to apply, like other countries. Certainly greater presence in Brussels.
Would we need to adopt the Euro? I'd think so, but not sure if that is a good idea.
We'd have to upgrade a lot of our standards
It is called Enlargement. Seems appropriate for the era we are in.

My jointer restoration project, still sitting at the old place. Paused for now, but not forgotten. Was in the middle of this when we finally found the right homestead.
Need to make space for it here first. Preferably with a foundation, so I don't have to move it again.
And then find about six strong elephants to help me load it onto a trailer.
Problems for another time.

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •Accounts named "NameLotsaNumbers" are almost always bots. But bots created by a single user to flag particular keywords coming from an account (yours) that concentrates on a particular topic. So when users mention a particular topic they were set to follow, all of the accounts follow at the same time (thus the 40 follows.)
If I had to guess, "Kololo" is the parent account (no numbers in name.)

As the moderator of another instance, please believe me when I say I am fed up with the lack of basic organisation from mastodon.social.
As I have said recently: "How come mastodon.social accepts 5 to 6 accounts, all of them named elon_musk_xxx without ever suspecting a thing?".
These guys are only interested in having a lot of users, they outsource their moderation to all the other instances.

On Twitter you can persecute minorities without consequence. The moderation on mastodon.social is leagues above that.

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •What could help would be to only allow a following after approval since only serious ones would apply for following acceptance.
To block the source of such accounts would require investigation, MSocial may not have the possibility and/or time to do this.

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •There are of course many bot accounts, so that could be the explanation for these, but if you are part of a starter pack you will get many accounts following you that follows the exact same list of people.
I canβt find a starter pack at fedidevs that contains you, and as far as I know they are the largest collections of starter packs, so itβs a less likely explanation in your case.
