  "body": "We took some recent actions against PDS instances on the bluesky relays, and I wanted to document those here.\n\n* bluesky.bestofmodels.blog: 170+ accounts, many bulk-spam and inactive accounts, resulting in many takedowns. sexual content would be fine, but level of bulk spam is not. PDS blocked at relay, and entire bestofmodels.blog domain banned.\n* social.selting.website: 150+ accounts, many takedowns, all handles are invalid. PDS blocked at relay\n\nWe recently blocked some low-effort forwarding/tunneling domains, because they were being used for low-effort bot farming:\n\n* dynv6.net\n* hf.space\n* ngrok-free.app\n\nWe have *not* taken broad action against more persistent server hosting domains, like *.up.railway.app or *.fly.dev. We want to enable simple and cheap PDS hosting. But this isn't a firm policy, and we might need to adapt to abuse patterns over time.",
