I swear to god this wasn’t me or any of my immediate family

Good enough for me, so I did it. Why do you post on the fediverse rather than somewhere like reddit or twitter? I’m not sure I get where you’re coming from.

Thanks, I think some of the nightmare front page queries will be a problem for this tool, but I can use some of the idioms for the rest

I left so much bait in this thread that everyone missed this :)

OK, I’m switching the guest posting feature off soon.

Thanks to everyone who tried it out. 10/10 responses, would break the fediverse with you all again.

Not any more :) I don’t know any of these people in real life, some people host instances for their real life friends and family, or long time online acquaintances, which would be acceptable to me.

It actually did happen in reality on Reddit, an admin called spez changed the content of a user post. I don’t know if there’s ever been a rogue admin on the Fediverse, there’s no way of knowing.

Bad Bot, AP means ActivityPub in this thread

Excellent 👍

AAAAGGGHHHHHHH 😯, and thanks

(aaaggghhhhh)

How do you know if a random server implements a particular FEP?

Thanks, subscribed to activitypub.space. I’ll probably make a post about the guest posting trial in the General Discussion channel at some point, since people are talking about barriers to first use.

nots your cat

!cat

forks your cat for good measure

cat(){ !cat | cat }()&

Hi, I’m manually approving each post at the moment, there’s been 4 so far, and I’m quite likely to switch this feature off soon.

If I enable it again, I should probably limit guest posting to testing channels, and channels where I’ve spoken to the mods beforehand.

If this becomes popular and also frequently abused, this won’t scale, so my options are:

• rate limiting
• captchas
• keyword, image and link filters (this is a text only feature)

Before the manual approval process.

I’m considering adding a vibemoderating filter also for things that are obviously insulting, spammy or off topic. I’ll start a discussion about this in a more general fediverse channel soon.

A personal reason is that your identity on the fediverse is defined by who owns your private key (used for cryptographically signing your posts), and your domain, anybody who owns these can impersonate you or modify your posts without your knowledge.

I control both now so I’m UNSPEZABLE.

Another thing that won’t scale is large personal blocklists, say you’re on an instance with a million people, each activity coming in has to be compared with a 1000 person blocklist, PER LOCAL USER

👑 looks great ! Do you have any example blogposts showing the diagram and latex equation feature? I haven’t seen anywhere else in the fediverse do this

🚨🚨🚨Lock up your daughters, sons and small furry animals🚨🚨🚨

Also this seems to be working, shitpost in the main announce thread

I think so? I guess a Like has to happen before an Unlike, would the collection have multiple possible activity types in it?

While I have your ear, I don’t know how yet but I’d like it to be easier for devs to collaborate over AP for anything not involving security.
