@dansup @Mastodon What does it look like? Iโ€™m utilizing Mona as my client.

dansup

I still can't believe Monica was fired, without Jen and Mary they are boring.

Andy better get Mary back full time or else SLC is going the way of Dallas and old NYC

OMG Google you a real one with that iconic Heather quote easter egg marquee โค๏ธ

I updated fedidb.org to return the proper latest software version

ex: fedidb.org/software/mastodon/v

Next is finishing robots.txt parsing support so we honor instance admins privacy.

Be warned, this will drop stats across the board, I think it's better to respect admins and provide less accurate overall stats.

Mr Tuk was like "girl I know you didn't" so pretend you never seen his fat pic I posted earlier

Omg bruh, I just looked over and realized how THICC mr tuk is.

Like wow, he looks likes he about to shake me down for some spare kibble.

My partner thinks he's underfed since I got a new automatic feeder but damn, maybe I should limit it a bit more.

How do you tell a delusional cat owner their cat is fat???

You can see my dogs ribs, he's a healthy weight (like me ๐Ÿ˜Ž), but I swear the meows every time I try to put him on a diet always get to me.

Not to mention, there are hundreds of people who reached out to me asking to un-delete their accounts.

Despite the clear warning that it's not reversible, people still ask.

Recycling usernames is something @pixelfed is investigating!

That's why you never delete accounts immediately. You deactivate them and only actually delete after e.g. 30 days.

James J Malcolm

@dansup @pixelfed in other industries, like the mobile one, depending on the country, phone numbers are frozen for a while before being recycled.

That could work here?

My pixelfed isn't working at all. I can't see anything. I get message page not working. I don't know what happened. It started yesterday.

While Autospam is highly accurate, it comes down to human intervention.

Sometimes admins can incorrectly assume an account is spam, and then delete the account.

This has happened to me with pixelfed.social, and too many times.

@pixelfed needs a mechanism for users to appeal this, and have the admin decided ability for their account to be un-deleted.

Requires consideration regarding federation, other than that, I think we should prioritize fixing this. Wdyt?

#pixelfed #moderation #autospam

sadarex

@dansup @pixelfed How about deactivating the account first and after x days it gets deleted automatically?

๐Ÿ™ lฮนฮบฮต ฮตฮฑโ€ ฮนฯ€ฤ $รธฮฑฯ ๐Ÿ™

@dansup @pixelfed I like that:
the mechanism could be:
admin does spam delete -> accound suspended and marked as delete pending (14 days?) -> user has option to still log on and write message to admin

DELETED

@dansup @pixelfed I can only imagine the pure nightmare of detecting, and keeping track, of who's spam and who's not.

On that other Meta owned site it was, apart from the endless ads, a big factor in me leaving it. Spam spam and more spam relentlessly.

I believe anything yourself or the Fediverse can do to increase the battle is great.

It's tricky. But I guess an appeal system for presumed spam account deletion would be good. Also helps if people put face photos and good, relevant wording on profiles. Though that's a privacy concern for many nowadays due to the advance of AI and photo manipulation techniques

Love to see @pixelfed gaining #fediverse market share

Today: 2.2%

Looking forward to growing this further in 2024 ๐Ÿš€

@dansup @pixelfed I donโ€™t mean to be rude, but didnโ€™t you create the @fedidb to share these kinds of posts? I follow that account as well, so I would still see this anyways.

Iโ€™m just curious because itโ€™s been a while since anything was posted from there.

Steve Castano

@dansup hell yeah, congrats!! Happy to say Iโ€™m onboard as well!! Had an amazing chat with some folks in your discord, especially @jippi who hooked me up getting it going in #docker. I canโ€™t wait to see what else can be done! #fixelfed #fediverse #opensource #takeyourdataback

Kevin Woblick

@dansup @pixelfed Totally deserved! Pixelfed has so good Instagram-of-2012 vibes. Authentic people sharing their art and lifes. Itโ€™s so much fun.

dansup

I'm often asked about adding support to @pixelfed to mirror IG accounts, or import IG posts by url

Here's the thing: Pixelfed has to respect the ToS of IG, and doing this is a clear violation

Now that Threads is here, Pixelfed is likely further being monitored for compliance and I'm okay with this because I have no intention of violating API rules or ToS

The best option is to export your IG data (in JSON format) and then import to Pixelfed!

#pixelfed #instagram #dataExport

dansup

@pixelfed I really do love Instagram, and hope they eventually add federation support!

We are co-existing peacefully, and together working to bring photo sharing to even more people โค๏ธ

I never thought I'd be saying this, but here we are in 2024 with Threads, and Meta involved in ActivityPub, what a time to be alive!

technicat

@dansup @pixelfed Bestest option: dump IG and commit to pixelfed!

Zipkid

@dansup @pixelfed Are there plans to re-enable IG import on pixelfed.social?

Admins will be able to silently reject curated onboarding requests, or send a rejection email. In the future, we'll support custom messages and templates!

@dansup Looks super nice.

A very small note from my site: I think it would look better if the inputs were blue, too. Maybe a darker blue.

Steve

@dansup Iโ€™ll out myself as a complete newb here: Isnโ€™t there fedi SSO?

Tommy Boy :verified:

@dansup Ooo nice. Building a similar user account system for my nonprofit and curious - what's your breakpoint there? Mine's ~800px I think. Whatever mine is it's way too wide. But at least your step one page length makes me feel better about mine. Good job

You would think a "Forgot Email" feature would be simple to implement, a feature to send an email to an account by providing the username

And it can be, but a feature like this has several vectors that are ripe for abuse

Some examples:
- Credential stuffing
- Targeted account takeovers
- Email quota overage
- Account state exfiltration

Our mitigations:
- IP address rate limits (10/1440 mins)
- Once per account for 24h
- Email quota (no overages)
- Random timing delays
- General error messages

@dansup Credential stuffing sounds painful

Exandra

@dansup once per 24h would definitely fail for me for reasons relating to the way embedded browsers in email clients frequently lose state and password managers are not 100% reliable.

I almost always end up requesting 2-3 resets in a row.

dansup

I'm often asked why you can't login to @pixelfed with your username

It's a security feature โฌ‡๏ธ

@pixelfed I've often wondered why we can't log in using our username rather than email?

Our response:

@user That is a security feature!
Usernames are public knowledge.
By limiting authentication to a semi-private identifier like email addresses, we can reduce the impact of brute forcing
passwords/account takeovers.
We hope that makes sense!

Did you know that @pixelfed has a feature that highlights posts you've shared or liked on this day a year (or years) ago?

While currently limited to desktop web, I'm working to bring this feature to our app and mobile apis!

Just merged a PR for one of my first open source projects, Bulma Templates

I used to be really interested in the Bulma css framework, and am lucky to have on-boarded other contributors that actively maintain it now

Open source is magic โœจ

โœจ Pixelfed Curated Onboarding is nearly finished, and will be shipping later this weekend!

tl;dr :pixelfed: admins can curate sign-ups when open registrations are closed

- Inspired by Mastodon with a familiar flow

- Easily request more info, users can easily respond with the details using special links

- Activity Log tracks events for easy admin

- Customize the accept/reject messages

- Users can share custom join links that auto follow their accounts

Not bad eh ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Great news!

And with the first public version of Nightshade released an interesting time for images on the internet. I wonder if one day it will be possible for sites to include this sort of tech as a user option themselves.

@dansup Looks like increased jpeg compression. Maybe you can say it's just another compression for the web.

#Nightshade looks very interesting, though it's very resource heavy and won't work with @pixelfed as I initially hoped.

Will def keep my eye on this space, and it got me thinking about a desktop #pixelfed client, that would be really cool but I have my hands full at the moment!
