Looks like we've got a bit of a 'living in a society' situation going on over yonder

Audio uploads? In this economy?

I'm afraid that a moderation API alone would not be enough of a measure against spammers. It presumes that automod applications will be developed, that admins will know about them, and that admins will set them up. Which would require self-hosting because automod-as-a-service would have awful privacy implications.

That's a shame though because experimentation over a moderation API would be more effective than a centrally designed upstream solution.

What mod tools could you develop with these APIs? Which could you not because a crucial part is missing? Let me know

Mastodon is now on the translation platform Crowdin. So far it seems like a much better interface for translating

You can help by either submitting translations or proofreading existing ones!

So Gab has decided that their own code that they spent $5M of investor money developing is so unsalvageably bad that they're going to use Mastodon's code instead, with the added bonus of leeching off of our apps (with Gab apps being banned from app stores)

This is an early warning to fellow admins to be vigilant and domain-block them on sight, when/if they appear (unconfirmed whether they intend to federate), and to app devs to consider if blocking Gab's domains from their app is necessary.

If you are in Germany, please vote today! Even if you don't care about any of the parties, your vote can still cancel out a vote for AfD/NPD

Would you enjoy differently-sized headings, blockquotes, code blocks, bullet point lists and other rich text features in toots on your home feed?
