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!

@dansup Honestly, I thought this thread about defederating Barcelona was political programmer humour relating to Catalonia's secession/independence (where Barcelona is the largest city) from Spain.  @dansup That seems best/most pragmatic, but they also have a proven track record of doing detrimental behavior then asking for forgiveness. It’s basically their entire m.o. 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

 @dansup Let’s learn from each other, let’s be open to fail and learn from that as well. I am not even half as good as a programmer as you are, so you are an impressive example to me, how far you can get by self studying. Constructive feedback from the community will help you and the project. And for everyone else who is not constructive: block them or let the community handle it. :)  @dansup Your contributions to the fediverse are IMMENSE. Thank you for all you're doing. "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. My partner has been stocking up on toilet paper, paper towels, batteries and pens for some reason #teamAriana I still think #vanderpumpRules is dumb, but lowkey make my partner wait to watch them with me Damn you Bravo and Andy Cohen!! I know too much about each Real Housewives franchise 😅 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  @dansup This picture is being added to my "why we need parenting licenses" collection... this is textbook child endangerment! @dansup it’s been 160+ here in Colorado for two days now from the fires in Canada. Hoping you guys get the relief you need so we get it, as well.  @dansup A value of 89 is not everywhere.. it is a scale that merely should be used for indication. It should not dictate your life. ... It might eventually catch up with you, but that is a difference afferent story. I'm excited to hear about #Barcelona and look forward to working out any compatibility issues #activityPub #pixelfed  @dansup Sometimes code names are a pain because now nobody can talk about that city in Spain anymore. ✨ 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. 😎 ✨ Registrations are now open on https://pixelfed.social Looking forward to improving our Autospam training data 😉 I believe @pixelfed is the first #fediverse project to implement Bayesian inference in regards to spam detection and mitigation. I doubt we'll be the last 😉 Preparing to ship the Autospam Advanced Detection feature in @pixelfed! This will help instances better detect and mitigate spam, and in an easy way! No docs or configuration required, you'll be able to enable and manage this from the admin dashboard. Thanks again to @NGIZero for funding this additional anti-spam measure that doesn't depend on a 3rd party service 😎 #pixelfed #autospam #nlp

 @dansup just had a look through the code, and noticed it's splitting the caption on a regex that uses :alpha: — does that work with UTF8 characters? A common technique I see for avoiding spam is to use UTF8 characters like the following. I didn't see any test coverage so I wasn't sure how they'd be handled: @dansup@mastodon.social @pixelfed@mastodon.social @NGIZero@mastodon.xyz will there be a new release version for this? ✨ Wanna join https://pixelfed.social? 💫 https://pixelfed.social/auth/invite/a/99bc57b0-ebb0-403d-98af-d869871f93e7iQdl Follow the invite link to join!  @dansup I can't seem to be able to.

@dansup @pixelfed Alright!! 🚀 Looks good, I like that we also get to switch the picture order when editing
@dansup @pixelfed I see a trashcan icon for removing media but nothing for replacing/adding?
@dansup @pixelfed I need it! :) Thank you 🙏
