Whenever you see something like this, please just report the post as spam, block the user and petition your community moderators to recruit more mods, especially in other time zones.

Even better, volunteer as mod yourself.

Also please tell your admins to use an application rather than just the captcha - the captchas are easily broken.

We also need shareable blacklists if they federate as well then that would be ideal. Surly someone can write a community thats a bot that gives democracy to blocklists.

Some instances may not want to use democracy to decide on what to block. But some web of trust would be nice perhaps. Like I trust an instance and if that instance blocks another instance, maybe I'd block it too.

I thinking more on a per user basis content tagging should defiantly have blacklists as well. But tags arent a thing yet?

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 4 points 6 months ago

I don't think they are. The closest thing is hashtags but tags aren't really a thing in ActivityPub as far as I'm aware. This kind of system will also always depend on people correctly tagging their stuff of course.
