also given what i’ve implemented to make 0x0 safe to operate, i find the moderation tools of most fedi server software sorely lacking and generally inflexible
this is actually a problem with most software for hosting publicly accessible user content, including e.g. git forges.
gitlab and forgejo have essentially no tools to mitigate even the most basic forms of spam. there’s support for captchas, but captchas are completely ineffective and an accessibility nightmare.
@mia@movsw.0x0.st i agree. and i think its not just for fedi software. imo MRF is a pretty good attempt on making powerful mod tools, but sadly thats limited to *roma
@stefan i’d love to. but i don’t have the spoons to solve these problems in existing software.
@stefan i do have some things in mind for yet another fedi server that may or may not happen in the future
that’s one of the reasons i brought up horn clauses (as in prolog) a few times. they’re a very useful tool for implementing flexible rules and i believe they have several applications in this context
