Guess who just discovered a new Autospam training source?? Curated Onboarding requires applicants to include a "reason for joining" and the action the admin takes can be used to further train the Autospam data!  @dansup I read third line as KDE Software instead of KDK, and I was going to ask wtf is going on xD @dansup yeah but then you exclude those of us who genuinely want to PROVIDE THE BEST NDA TRAINING TO THE STUDENTS Pixelfed Curated Onboarding is working great so far!  EDIT: Shipped! https://pixelfed.blog/p/2024/feature/introducing-curated-onboarding โจ Pixelfed + Curated Onboarding Admins: All you need to do to enable this once it's shipped is to navigate to the Admin dashboard -> Settings page and toggle the "Registration Status" setting, then tap "Save" No .env changes or cli commands required. Shouldn't everything be this easy? Most of it is with @pixelfed ๐  @dansup @pixelfed I think all software creators should be required to take a class with you on how to write clear release notes / share tips / keep people up to date on the roadmap and the status of upcoming features. Iโm not even on Pixelfed but I follow you just because I enjoy watching the progress. @dansup @pixelfed https://archive.org/details/cym-corp-1/CYM%20Corp%207/ Successfully tested Curated Onboarding on my staging instance, we're moments away from it being merged into @pixelfed! @dansup @pixelfed as you are allowing plus-addressing in the email, maybe a "there are X other accounts with the same plus prefix" and "there are X other accounts on the same mail domain, of which Y are disabled, Z are blocked, N have spam reported" as a good indicator (maybe a "domain trust score?) And as a bonus note that gmail is super special; the local part (left hand of @) one can insert dots anywhere: eg d.a.niel.super.nault@ is the same address.. fun for antispam scoring...  Also, in case you forgot, I wrote a tool that you can use to convert Mastodon blocklists to Pixelfed format and vice versa! It's a simple html page, so you can clone it and run locally if you desire! I'm also working on a radical approach to federation, @pixelfed admins will soon have a game changing approach to manage federation. Imagine being able to filter federated activities from outdated instances that have open registration enabled, with a single tap. Forget importing blocklists, we're making it more simple and easier to manage federation. Pixelfed makes moderation easy โจ  @dansup @pixelfed This is important and should become a standard across fedi. We shoujld be able to set policies that prevent potentially compromised instances from communicating with ours until updated to a safe version. This also solves the problem of absent admins, their instance will fade to irrelevance if they ignore it too long. I wasn't kidding when I said Curated Onboarding is being prepared to ship! I know it's been delayed a few weeks, but I've been busy with security/bug fixes and the mobile app release. It will be shipping very soon, I even have the blog post draft awaiting release ๐ Interesting, the Mona app dev forked some scraper that imitates a web browser to collect Mastodon data without having to register an app/api token. https://github.com/JunyuKuang/snscrape/blob/master/snscrape/modules/mastodon.py#L98 I'm not sure how the fedi would feel about that ๐ง  @dansup from what I could find, it is closed source. No public GitHub repositories relating to Mona at all on https://github.com/JunyuKuang/  @dansup looks quite neat! I got 3 bags of beef jerky for valentimes day, and some weed ๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ He sure knows the way to a mans heart โค๏ธ  @dansup i have read three bags of weed. Happy Valentine's day, which is also my birthday as well! โค๏ธ omg, its hard to not fan girl sometimes when one of your heros or some famous person (or both) interacts with your posts I have a lot of followers but I still feel like that guy with only 12 followers, not to make everything about me but can you imagine?? aahhhh, omg, its just cray cray and I'm here for it but yeah this made my day ๐ :pixelfed: Admins may see one of these banners if they run an outdated instance. - Only shown to admins @Mastodon you sly dog, thanks for the idea, you really make our jobs easier with all dat innovation ๐ Another great idea that Mastodon uses is to email all admins about security fixes. They don't send thousands of emails from some central location. Each mastodon instance sends mail to its own admin address. Pixelfed Admins: You may notice outgoing requests to versions.pixelfed.org/versions.json in the latest release. Your instances will poll that url every 30 mins to check if there is a new version release! Fear not, we published all the source code for this, should you want to audit this feature. PR: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/pull/4934/files Update Server: https://github.com/pixelfed/pf-api-update/ Pssst @pixelfed admins, want to mitigate the current spam wave? Add the following to your .env and then update to the latest commits! ``` Pixelfed Autospam makes spam mitigation easy ๐   |
