We're as frustrated as everyone else with these phishing attacks. mastodon.social had new sign-ups in approval mode this week to limit the impact, but offenders targeted other instances and compromised existing accounts. We take the problem very seriously; we're suspending and blocking as quickly as possible, as well as actively working on countermeasures.

Good catch.

@cainmark @nunesgh We have the staff role badge which can only be set by the server administrator, though the badge is only visible when you are viewing it from mastodon.social itself.

@nunesgh
At least, when opening the profil remotely, you should see the badge with Fedilab. So there is an issue on our end. Bookmarked for a fix.
