@freemo I've read you for months now, and I still don't know what the hell you do for a living actually =D
A whitelist is surely useful, especially if we can set some parameters (like, people in the groups "friends" or "despised but needed", like a doctor)
Also an automatic notification to the blocked contacts, so they can hate themselves for being such jerks.
Ah, so many cool ideas here on the fediverse... <3
@Surasanji
That actually makes a lot of sense... he breaths underwater, he seems to always be in different places every week like teleporting, he builds weird stuff... and I remember those videos where he was shooting fire balls with his dutch friends!
@arteteco Haha: Math, Software, Hardware, in that order :) I work with advanced math specific to algorithms, machine learning, statistics, and a few other obscurities with an educational background in all of that plus biology and Organic chemistry...
I branched out a lot in my education and career.
@arteteco I agree, scan a few days out in either direction.
The positive part is easy, well for me, its pretty much what I do for a living, this kind of algo.
Basically the simplest but very effect design would be a class of Naive Classifier called a Bayes Classified. They are really good at categorizing positive or negative tones and there are large examples of starter datasets to train off of.
Of course the script would ideally provide the option for the user to see the results and change the automated determination. Probably would have to add white lists to make it really be useful.
