I left the Invitation feature of Mastodon on - any member could invite any other member. Once one bot got in they invited many others. I&#39;ve disabled the invitation feature - alas - and I&#39;m deleting the bots as fast as I can. 2026-05-17T16:23:55Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgwtnfj00y32fcwgjglxylxj5vwc0a4tehxprn45gzlnesthmzyzgzypyzs9wfqmrfg63uggdry8hp0lfnc00a055s0kvgl5efu5w0t9022cmkf95 Well this is concerning.<br/><br/>I just suspended 14 Russian LLM generated bot accounts that were created around April 17 on my Mastodon instance, twit.social. Somehow they circumvented manual registration approval. I&#39;ve turned on Captchas (much as I hate them) for new member requests in the hopes that will stop the bots.
