    If you join another instance, you wont be subject to our filter. It is meant to prevent abuse, we have issues with new accounts abusing other users, and this is our only way to prevent it.

    I have been manually undeleting the messages as I get to them, but it is a human process, so it takes time.

    We had a bunch of new accounts created that immediately hurled abuse at another user. It got us briefly defederated from a few instances. We are using the profanity filter to raise those kinds of post to our attention so we can deal with them rapidly.

    Once we are sure the new account is behaving itself, the filter is turned off. We don’t care if you swear, as long as it’s in line with the code of conduct.

    We do, the library I am using isn’t the best. If you know of a good rust lib for profanity checking, feel free to share.

    But we are kinda okay with it being a bit over-eager. It only applies to new accounts, and I am actively reverting the messages if its an error. Its scaling okay for now.

    Just wasnt fast enough in this case.





  • Limewire, what a blast from the past.

    Converted to mp4 and it works, but I wonder if the problem is file size? 11mb for the gif feels like it might be too big? Maybe try with a 9mb file, in case the limit is 10.

    I converted it to mp4, and it shrunk to 1.9mb and uploaded, so I’m not sure what the exact problem is.
