 Spam comes in all forms, here is an example that @pixelfed Autospam just detected, removed from public timelines and notified me to take action. Looks like a normal post, they even added an avatar and used hashtags! Still in awe of how accurate our spam mitigation on @pixelfed is, and it only gets better 💪 I think I’m going to hold off on the Story photo editor (draw, text, stickers) for now and focus on allowing users to upload photo/video Stories from the camera roll It’s going to take a while to build such an advanced photo editor, and I’d prefer to focus on shipping other features before allocating more time to this - there are plenty of apps you can use to draw on photos/videos and I have a huge backlog of stuff to ship 😉   While working on Stories I discovered a moderation oversight. So when I first built the report feature in @pixelfed, I made it polymorphic so it could be used by future features along with Post and Profile reports. When I built Stories, I added Story Reports, but I never updated the admin dashboard to be able to handle them, you can Ignore them on the mobile app but this isn’t ideal. Luckily we haven’t had any Story reports yet, but I’m going to quickly fix the dashboard so admins can handle Someone asked if I still plan on open sourcing the @pixelfed mobile app when it reaches v1.0 The answer is still yes! The code base is evolving at a rapid pace and is over 35K LoC already. I look forward to the v1.0 release 😁 #pixelfedApp It's great to hear you plan to publish the app source code under a Free license. I had been contemplating asking but didn't want to complain about gratis code. When you do, it would be great if the Android version builds without including proprietary components, so that it can be included in f-droid. Specifically that means no Google Play libs. People often use a build flavor if they want their standard binary to have non-Free components. I’m going to do a bit more work on Stories before jumping over to Groups. Hope I don’t jump too far and end up on Sup island 🏝️  @dansup I'm not bothered about stickers or anything, but could we have some form of captioning in stories? It would really make all the difference, and it'll mean I don't need to get out the Post-It notes.

 lmao I forgot about that note, mastodon you iconic for adding this feature the temptation to post memes for easy likes be lowkey the hardest struggle Before vs After This may be controversial, but I'm going to move profile bio and website links to a new screen to give more real estate to posts!

 I like that the Fediverse ID is shown on the profile — ex: ＠dansup＠pixelfed·social (It will help make following someone on a remote server easier for many.)

@dansup  @dansup I wonder if it should be another app. It imitates how Instagram is working. But Instagram copied Snapchat. And then there is TikTok. Maybe pictures and videos shouldn’t be mixed up to much? Have a clear focus per app?

@dansup@mastodon.social @pixelfed@mastodon.social I hope we can get an archiving feature soon on #Pixelfed. I've been using Pixelfed a lot and for a while, and now planning to carry over posts from my old, deactivated #Instagram account to Pixelfed for archiving purposes. It'd be great if archived posts imported to Pixelfed will stay archived, or at the very least we could archive them manually. @dansup @pixelfed Is adding to stories from camera roll planned? Also, I feel like there are too many steps to add to stories on iOS. You have to press the Plus button at the bottom, then the Timer icon, then Open Camera. Maybe add a plus at the top left next to My Story icon, or just swipe from left edge to get to the camera just like Instagram?   |

@pixelfed now here is a post that looks like spam but wasn’t flagged due to the robust Autospam detection.
It’s almost like magic 🪄
@dansup @pixelfed
A good catch. I would not have chased it anyway.
