@pixelfed Also do feel free to suggest more improvements or call me out on specific problems and I will do my best to prioritize and accommodate your feedback and requests granted they are reasonable and actionable!

As developers, it’s our responsibility to take a proactive approach to safety and moderation, and while I don’t have the resources that some other projects do, I have dropped the ball in this regard so I’m focused on improving this in Pixelfed and would love your feedback!

❤️

@dansup @pixelfed only two words: PUSH NOTIFICATIONS

@dansup Do you have documentation on the details of comment control yet? Is it only automatic-allow for specific groups or does it support an interactive mode where e.g. the comment can be submitted, but interactive approval is required (according to some filter)?

Something that I think would help *a lot* with connections to less moderated huge instances would be to set a first-comment(s) approval mode for them: If someone comments/replies from such an instance, those comments are collected and can be allowed/rejected by moderators in a view that shows their overall comment history. Plus a button to approve the commenter in general.
This could also be combined with a word/phrase filter to require manual approval, with the same option to exempt accounts.

I'm aware this would need a lot of UI, also to communicate that a made comment is 'pending approval' or something like that, but it could fix the 'whack a mole' problem of purely reactive moderation when connecting to large instances as a small instance.

@Qazm Not yet, still working on that!

I've reached out to @gotosocial and hope to collaborate on interop with @pixelfed

Wouldn't that be cool, two non-mastodon projects working together to show the fediverse what can be done.

I'm hopeful that GtS will be receptive to such an iconic collab 🤞

@dansup Once it's fully documented, partial interop through Bridgy Fed could also be possible, seeing as how ATProto controls are a subset of what Pixelfed will support (though, if I'm not mistaken it would require Bridgy Fed to implement synchronised follower collections).

It's not a perfect match due to architecture differences, and I have my issues with the ATProto model, but overall I think it would be healthy to make small-fediverse content available there in as high fidelity as possible.

@dansup @pixelfed

Do take care of your own welfare. You deserve safety too.

If users have requests for improvements they can present them quietly and patiently.

@lionelb @pixelfed I appreciate that!

But when it comes to user safety, I listen and prioritize accordingly.

Pixelfed is my baby, and our community means a lot to me, if there is something I can do to fix an issue or improve safety, I will sacrifice my free time to work on that.

I don't really have a life anymore, and that's really what it takes to build an Instagram competitor by yourself

And I'm okay with that 😎
