ok @elduvelle has been nailing all the spam recently, and like... can anyone tell me what the worst thing that could happen to me if i click these links. I want to click them so bad. I always want to click the spam links but am never allowed to
well... maybe you could try and see what happens, like in a sandbox or something? But y'know, there are many interesting links out there, maybe you could start by clicking the ones that look nice instead of the ones that look like they just want your money? 😛
THIS is the distributed moderation case for #FetchAllReplies - you can only see them because we have fetch all replies deployed on this instance. because you are probably one of the only people (on a mastodon instance, GTS also does this) that can see it aside from people on mastodon.social, you are the first to report it. this is EXACTLY what every person of color that has faced abuse on the fedi has been saying about the importance of other people being able to see the abuse. because you can forward the report to other instances, you make it visible to everyone and the problem gets dealt with way faster and it's better for everyone. maybe the person they replied to doesn't even see it before it gets dealt with because everyone can watch out for it.
brb i'm gonna go address the one review comment i've gotten to keep pushing that along
Ooh I had a feeling that Masto was much more active for the past 2-3 weeks is that because of fetch all replies?? I didn't even realise it was actually implemented, I thought it was still in test mode or something.
Wow, that definitely improves things, I'm so glad you got it to work!! Hope they'll add it to main Masto as well!
yeeeaaaaaaaaaassssssssss that is the intention and i have noticed it too. it's a total game changer for how i see the fedi too and that's only with just us having it - when everyone has it then it's just a completely different network
THIS is the feature I am looking to adopt in particular. They SHOULD adopt it upstream. It will mean I can retire fedifetcher and ease the bandwidth traffic a little.
