Roles & Parental Controls

This is my next @NGIZero milestone, and will allow admins to define roles and permissions for all users, as well as allow users to manage permissions of another account (Parental Controls)!

"Trust levels" are another exciting aspect, where admins can define roles with limits that are applied based on thresholds, similar to Discourse Trust Levels

This may be controversial, I made some tweaks to the @pixelfed status cards to accommodate edits.

Made the avatars slightly smaller, adjusted the username font, size and color and removed the admin badge (when applicable).

If you have feedback, now is the time to let me know before I ship post edits!

✨ Post editing in @pixelfed

I'm finished the UI/UX aspects of post edits, and am nearly finished the federation logic!

Should be ready in the next day or two 😉

I think we shouldn’t rush to defederate #Barcelona until we know more about their implementation, moderation policies or observe detrimental behaviour like them injecting ads.

You can argue EEE, but they have a proven track record when it comes to open source like React, PyTorch and many other projects!

The real reason why I haven't published the pixelfed app, https://fediverse.info and https://fedidb.org (v2) source code is imposter syndrome.

I'm a self-taught high school dropout and still writing php.

I've grown a lot as a dev the past few years and the current state of all my projects sometimes makes me feel like a failure, like I should be better, faster and following current trends.

The fast growth of fedi made this worse, but I'm committed and just saying this brings some relief

"Hey Dan, What processes need to change to enable contributions to pixelfed?"

This is a recent DM I recieved, and it struck a chord.

I'm so used to working alone, and I realize that isn't healthy.

The state of our documentation is sad, and I need to fix this.

I'm going to move the docs to the pixelfed repo to be able to more easily update them, and the docs site will be updated to pull in the markdown files after each merge/build.

Btw, @pixelfed has no plans to build a text-only Twitter competitor.

Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey/Calckey, GNU Social and others have that covered!

We’re going to stick to photo/video sharing 😉

After I ship post edits I’ll focus on the mobile app, improved video support (Loops), Push Notifications and Stories!

I want to get this done before the 31st as that is the 5th anniversary of @pixelfed 😅

✨ Preview of post editing in @pixelfed

Looking forward to shipping this!

It's one of the most requested features, and is almost ready for prime time 😄

The AQI is 89!! Way above healthy limits and these people decide to have a picnic!

Please send us in Alberta some rain and common sense!! #abWildfires

About to start testing federation for Post Edits in @pixelfed!

I'm excited to hear about #Barcelona and look forward to working out any compatibility issues #activityPub #pixelfed

✨ @pixelfed + Post Edits

I'm putting the final touches on post edit support in #pixelfed, should be ready this weekend! 🚀

✨ Spammers beware!

@pixelfed now disables atom feeds and both post/profile embeds for spam accounts, and hides their profile unless you are logged in!

This will not affect new or existing users that create a post that is flagged for review by Autospam unless the post(s) are marked as spam by a human admin.

tl;dr: pixelfed now limits access to human reviewed spam posts and accounts to deincentivize SEO and other forms of spam.

Sorry about the slowness of https://pixelfed.social, an inefficient configuration change was fixed and now we’re back to normal response times!

I'm excited about the new @pixelfed Autospam Advanced Detection, but I should warn that your results may vary based on training data.

I did my best to make this as easy as possible, but it really comes down to training models.

That's why I added the ability to import or export training data, though it's currently limited to positive/spam tokens for privacy reasons.

I look forward to shipping an importable community model and improving spam detection overall.

Fuck spam. 😎

Looking forward to improving our Autospam training data 😉
