Never in a million years would I think I'd be able to write a mobile app, and for it to actually work. The fediverse really is magic, the consistent positivity and encouragement have really made me strive and I look forward to you experiencing a new ephemeral paradigm that is live stories. #pixelfed #pixelfedLive  Comments have been added to the Pixelfed Live app! The broadcaster can easily pin or remove comments. It's going to be a fun weekend 😉 I was going to support "desktop streaming" that would allow you to use OBS for :pixelfed: Live. However Owncast does desktop streaming really well, and after using our new live streaming app I believe we're better off focusing on mobile streaming and empowering more intimate experiences via this ephemeral medium between creators and their audiences. #pixelfedLive #pixeldev  @dansup mobile focus makes the most sense in many ways, just because of how media is even eaten up now-a-days. But even id love desktop streaming, since gigs could be broadcast easier etc. Added audio controls, share button and toasts to the :pixelfed: Live app! Go live and share a public link that anyone can view, shipping soon to a #pixelfed instance near you! Android + iOS apps are being prepared for release 🚀 #pixelfedLive #liveStreaming

 @dansup This looks really cool! Facebook should be scared =-O Does it also have filters and an API for designers? This would be next level @dansup so excited for the app release. This is incredible. Is there a beta version we can install and test? @dansup Twitter Notes, for longform content on twitter.

Love this album, I think its better than Certified Lover Boy, kind of reminds me of Views. #drake #honestlyNevermind "Not sure if legit user, seo bot or vote ring" Starting to see some interesting behaviour on https://pixelfed.social where spammers try to evade detection in creative ways or unusually high interactions on specific new accounts. I've been able to keep most of it at bay but our admin and moderation tools will need more work to keep up. Since we don't have analytics or detailed logs, it's challenging to be able to recognize these patterns. Will need to rethink our approach, feedback welcome! There are a lot of ideas I have to help solve these issues, but one has to be careful not to sacrifice privacy or other core principles when dealing with this. I could write a more automated system using trained models to identify this, but in doing so, we'd need to ingest and store so much user and meta data. And in doing that, we could get too comfortable in collecting and using that amount of data that we'd be no better than Instagram. No easy way to solve, requires careful consideration! @dansup I've noticed a few of the spam bot rings you referenced - but my (admittedly limited) impression is that the local feed is much cleaner than it was when I first signed up in October 2020. I almost never see the kinds of low quality advertisements or people mirroring unaffiliated Instagram accounts that were somewhat common back then. I've been impressed with the improvment and the overall quality of the content. Thanks to @Framasoft for reaching out to me, https://fediverse.info now uses the original video on the landing page with subtitles in 20+ languages!  Received a few reports from Russian users about blank or empty media previews on https://pixelfed.social, it appears my S3 provider is blocking Russia. Apologies! I'm looking into other providers to migrate to, if you are affected you can use a VPN to get around the block.  @dansup  Not sure how to best differentiate usernames on the livestream chat, do you prefer the username color or underline color? I'm aware of some low contrast usernames, that will be fixed for both light & dark mode before this ships! #pixelfed #pixeldev #pixelfedLive

"Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be" @dansup For a second I thought it was the song by The Pretenders “I’ll Stand By You” “I’ll stand by you. Won’t let nobody hurt you” All around the world  |
