Pretty sure this is entirely bots and product shilling bots. Every user on the instance is posting to themself, and no one every replies to anyone else, plus one version of Nicole lives there, LOL. No other evidence is just bots, but anyway.

PSA - I've started defederating from all instances that run the software "Pixelfed".

Since dansup, the developer of Pixelfed, doesn't seem to give enough consideration (or any consideration at all) about the privacy of posts, I have no trust in the software Pixelfed at all.

Chaosfem🌈Lucy🏳️‍⚧️ | Revoluciana (@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw)# 🚨Mod Announcement🚨 Decision to Defederate from Pixelfed Instances Our instance, chaosfem.tw, has made the decision to defederate from Pixelfed instances, at least for the time being. We feel the need to announce this as it may affect our users-- Pixelfed claims to have 150,000 monthly active users. Some of our own users have accounts there and likewise many of our users interact with other Pixelfed accounts from our instance. ## Why? Pixelfed is leaking our data, and, it seems, the data of any other instance it federates with on Mastodon. We've been confused and tracking this for some time, but have been uncertain what was happening exactly. This post sums up the issue better than I can: https://fokus.cool/2025/03/25/pixelfed-vulnerability.html It's clear that this leak is not a priority for Dansup, the sole maintainer of Pixelfed. However, it's a danger for instances like ours, with vulnerable users, but realistically, it's a danger for any instance to expect privacy and have it neglected and disrespected to this degree. ## Will we federate with Pixelfed instances in the future? Idk, possibly? But at the very least, we must have assurance that a particular pixelfed instance has been updated to v1.12.5 in order for us to even consider federating again. However, there are serious concerns about the fact that Pixelfed is run by someone who is hostile and neglectful to the Mastodon community and has a history of not taking security concerns seriously. And moreover, Pixelfed doesn't even have federated blocking implemented, so the only thing that can be done is to defederate, and even then, this only affects *new* posts. ## Difficulty Like Mastodon, Pixelfed is a separate project built on ActivityPub protocol, so it's not as simple as blocking another instance. This is blocking the entire project, and the instances running it. We don't make this decision lightly, and we hope you understand why we felt this necessary to protect our users who deserve an expectation of privacy. @MzAprilDaniels @Eilistraee @lulu #fediblock

Decision to Defederate from Pixelfed Instances

Our instance, chaosfem.tw, has made the decision to defederate from Pixelfed instances, at least for the time being.

## Why?
Pixelfed is leaking our data, and, it seems, the data of any other instance it federates with on Mastodon. We've been confused and tracking this for some time, but have been uncertain what was happening exactly. This post sums up the issue better than I can:

fokus.coolPixelfed leaks private posts from other Fediverse instances - fiona fokus

Update on my personal vendetta against the fake-ass dipshits behind the "Resistance Network", "No Gods No Masters," "Ni Dieu Ni Maitre" suite of accounts which are constantly popping up and which are followed by thousands upon thousands of absolute suckers and gullible fools.

"This well-functioning system is based on a carefully crafted and maintained illusion: non-existent collectives, anecdotal gifts, fictitious ethical certificates, ghost societies and total opacity. At a time when criticism — legitimate — is increasing against those who are transforming the struggles into symbolic capital and economic rent, the Réseau Résistance (Resistance Network) offers a case of a stereotypical school of cynical and mercantile exploitation that creeps like gangrene through the militant milieu."

This accusation, and information backing it up, found here in French:

@admin
kolektiva.social you have been warned about this before. One begins to wonder if you're simply in on the grift.

Accounts referred to by the above post: @AnarchistFederation
@nogodsnomasters@kolektiva.social
kolektiva.social

There are probably a dozen others, but I wouldn't feel confident IDing them.
