beige.party is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

A Dutch hardware store just sent out a newsletter with a `from` address that is actually their (accidentally public!) mailing list that forwards to all their customers. So, every single autoresponder message from any of their customers is getting forwarded back to all their customers, triggering more autoresponder messages. There's also ticketing systems replying with "your ticket has been filed" to each other, "this email address no longer exists" errors spamming back and forth, and so on.

Tomorrow morning, a lot of people are going to wake up with very full inboxes. 😬

@Mara truly amazing. What an incredible technology.

Surely, Kat and Mara, there's no human endeavor that the addition of bots or Ai can't make worse.
