@dansup @pixelfed Have you read https://renchap.com/blog/post/evolving_mastodon_trust_and_safety/ on those topics? I think this could fit your vision for Pixelfed as well!

@dansup @pixelfed Thank you, this has been my sense too, though I've been focused on the harassment angle. You put it more succinctly and are actually working on a solution - so again, thank you!

@dansup @pixelfed Also shouldn’t we normalize manually accepting followers and make it the default ? Except for maybe some celebrities there is no sense in letting someone follow you unless you read a least a short description and a few public posts

@dansup I’m not sure that Meta will actually federate. Part of me believes they announced it to placate those who are skeptical of Meta and are hoping that people forget.

Canada apparently has an unlimited source of energy and dansup has direct access


I have no idea how you find the time for all this

@dansup @pixelfed or I just defederate from these big corps?

@dansup @pixelfed they already are, already were before the announcement.

but for now they are often blocked very fast on instance level.
And with this, and the potential of many instances with public registration might deploy spam detection, they will go below the profitability threshold fast enough

@dansup @pixelfed do you currently do anything or have ideas on how to stop/limit scraping of data/images?
Like the suggestion that must of Flickr has been scraped ignoring any licenses.
