I'm thankful for Autospam

It's prevented pixelfed.social users from seeing over 19K spam posts, and it just keeps getting better with time

I'm back to working on the #pixelfedApp

Currently refactoring the Camera/Compose screens to improve the flow and UX!

Some highlights:
- Video Camera
- Video Editor
- Better text fields (copy/paste alt text, cw spoiler, location)
- Hashtag suggestions
- Image previews
- Copy alt text
- Comment control (limit who can comment on your post)
- Set License
- Add to Collection
- Media metadata (👀)

Lot's of improvements, shipping soon! 🚀

@dansup - sounds like some great updates !!!! any progress on selected boosting/reposting of instagram imports ie being able to change from private to public when desired?

Seeing an increase in blogspot and google site spam on pixelfed.social

A mitigation will be deployed soon, and return 401 response when appropriate!

After some tests I've determined that blanket domain blocks are not a solution, especially for popular domains.

I will continue working on Project Bazooka, the next generation Autospam. Admins will be able to easily opt-in when released.

me seeing all these new fediverse podcasts:

"what should i name my podcast" - a podcast with my non-tech partner where we discuss tech, fediverse and real housewives

Someone stole half of my order from this package, and the item is now out of stock forever. Thanks Royal Mail 😔

Damaged package with half of the contents missing from Royal Mail
Wiredfire :BA:

@dansup We've got a mysterious package awaiting us at the sorting office as a fiver postage is required.. we're torn between curiosity & the likelihood that we'll burn £5 on some tat being sent to us 😆

Paul Black

@dansup RIP, sorry to hear that! That sucks dude!

Jigme Datse

@dansup So, it disappeared from the time it got into Royal Mail's hands, and the time it left their hands? That sounds like at *best* criminal incompetence. I'm rather disappointed if that's the case.

Have you seen the new hashtag features?

@dansup

Not yet. I am fighting with the import feature. Imported posts do not get published, the are listed as hidden.

dansup

Muting accounts who boost a lot is a temporary fix for those who have empty home feeds on @pixelfed with CHT enabled

#pixelfed #cht

Geotechland

@dansup @pixelfed

or you could put them on a list and set it so that their posts dont show up in your home timeline 🤔

Shawn Hooper (he/him)

@dansup oh! This looks fantastic. I’d missed the announcement. Last I heard was just Taylor teasing about it coming soon.

Emelia 👸🏻

@dansup little surprised they're doing something custom instead of adopting prometheus or open telemetry..

dansup

The pixelfed CHT experiment along with proper `includes_reblogs` filtering can lead to situations where the home feed returns fewer than desired posts.

I'm working on a fix, and now regretting adding shares/boosts 😅

dansup

I feel like every federated platform will inevitably add some form of machine learning or algorithmic discovery if they want to grow beyond 1M MAU

I don't think it's a bad thing if done properly

@dansup I'm way past 100 users I follow and it's too much signal.

Exclusive Lists help in topic categories, but ultimately I can see myself avoiding the feed because of its intensity.

Ozan Toptas

@dansup instead of server-side algorithms or ML models, I'd say have an option for users to create and modify weight models for content - toots by this user gains 1 point, this hashtag gains 2 points, etc.

Which can then be adjusted per interaction by the software, but would be still open to the user for their inputs. I'd personally love that.

dansup

Thank god for Autospam*, it really helps reduce the moderation load as its quick enough to catch and hide posts before users see them!

Autospam 2.0 is game changing, and will be released early next year 🔥

@dansup thanks for the nice article!

Apologies if this is common knowledge, but what makes classifying spam "special" compared to other classification tasks? Since those seem to need much more complex systems to work reliably

I heard a rumor that a 3rd party #pixelfed app is working on Stories support 👀

I don't want to steal any thunder so you'll have to wait until I boost their announcement!

Also, a reminder that I love working with 3rd party app devs, if you need or want something, just ask 😉

@dansup Terminator 7 plot: Skynet was not an AI. It was a cat placed in charge of a single website that took over the entire net and started exterminating humans and dogs with killer robots. But a brave dog is sent back in time to stop her...

@dansup I, for one, welcome our new feline overlord.

dansup

I feel so petty for even complaining about negative pixelfed comments, I realize how lucky I am

There are a lot of fediverse projects that don't have the publicity or reach that Pixelfed does

I'll work on prioritizing my time better

I really appreciate y'all for being a part of this journey, we're on to something here ❤️

@dansup It’s not petty. It’s perfectly valid to feel like that. It hurts when you spend so much of your time and energy on something and then you get negative comments

We appreciate you ❤️

@dansup
I'm amazed at the amount of work and dedication you are putting into pixelfed. You are doing an amazing job!

lampsofgold

@dansup thanks for all you do, I’m really looking forward to solo, I’d love to deploy it for my grandparents, they’ve had a terrible time with photobucket trying to keep all their pictures

dansup

I noticed the #artemis app for Kbin no longer works and after some digging it seems like the developer burned out

It's unfortunate to see, and is a reminder that we can't take the #fediverse and our developers for granted!

Phil King

@dansup This is so true it’s why it’s important to concentrate on the thing that gives you joy.

Murmel

@dansup sad to hear. One of the reasons we decided to ask people to subscribe for Murmel upfront. While we are all for freedom of the web, it’s unrealistic to expect that anything running on a single person or a small-team’s voluntary effort will survive over the long-term. Life happens.
