CC: @[email protected] @[email protected] – is it possible to block these (also on snac)?

  • Another one: transforthe.win – local timeline there requires auth, so can't check whether it also has legitimate traffic...

    • @[email protected] @[email protected] Entire instances can be blocked using the command line, but they're using many (abandoned? loosely moderated?) instances.
      We can also set the "drop posts from accounts created less than X seconds ago". We could set a 86400 seconds - but we could lose new users, posting their introductions.

      For now, I've blocked those instances you pointed out

      • Thanks, those were all I've seen at least today. Let's see how this turns out. If there's a whole lot of these "abandoned" instances nobody cares about, we might indeed run into a quite similar problem the email system has as well. I'll suggest integrating rspamd into snac 😏

        (edit: fully agree basing the decision on the age of the account has an unacceptable false-positive rate ...)
