@freemo that’s a nuanced point you make. Said victim if kept in the dark by some auto-block feature could then turn around later and say - but I never knew this was going on! At least if I’d known I could have done something about it!
@lavenderlens Yup, exactly... empower victims, let them decide.
We dont have any explicit rules on this. Since its AI generated I suppose it really just comes down to the rate you set it at, and if the posts are automated or not... also if you monitor your account..
Is your plan to host a regular account, be active, make regular posts, talk to people, and just occasionally throw in some AI art, or do you want to just automatically post AI art and nothing else automatically and not really be active in the community much?
All of these options are potentially workable but it effects if you can post unlisted or listed is all.
Tthis isnt twitter, and there is a huge difference. Here you need to just block a dozen or two servers.. on twitter you have to block each and every single user on your own, that isntt manageable.
Literally you spend 20 secondns and import the fediblock clock list and your problem is solved. An admin blocking for you wont make any difference, they would just be importing fediblock or similar as well.
@bitbybot A lot sooner than you think... The more active accounts see dozens of follows a day.
Great to have you here!
@Middleway I am very happy to hear that and im glad I was able to make this a place you wannt to be! I look forward to getting to know you int he time to come.
The markdown is passed onto other servers... its just mastodon explicitly drops it and any styling because gargron said he likes it that way.
Oh no it **is** passed on to the server. your server just ignores it and drops it and refuses to render it.
Thats largely for your instance's software to decide. Gargron refused to render the markdownn, other clients might render it.
@terokeskivalkama if your rate limited it cannt for a few miutes
@terokeskivalkama Possibly, images to have a tendency to get rate limited sometimes.
@khird im happy to investigate further once we at least reach out and try a simpler solution first :)
Appparently they think good people walking past a bad person hearing them shout bad things in the distance will make them convert to racism... I dont buy it.
@khird Any email posted on their about page?
@jweile Congrats!
My abstract got accepted to #AGBT '23 today! 🎉
Anyone else planning to go?
@khird why not ping the admin of the innstance and ask whats up?
@terokeskivalkama No they are still there.
