Crom, Kobold King @vahnj

hi friends! i've built out a new anti-harassment feature into awoo which allows you block all notifications from users that are less than a day old who you don't follow.

hope it's useful! awoo.space/media/0dVlBZzoBXFzw

@vahnj YES wait....can we block users that don't have a profile picture like that twitter feature for blocking the "eggs" (helps to stop minor bots)

@LottieVixen that would take more work.... but i did want to do that too

@vahnj @LottieVixen could you add, like, a database flag or something that gets cleared the first time a user changes thgeir avy

@er1n @vahnj @LottieVixen how would it handle non-remote users?

(Alsoactually, how does this handle non-remote users? 1 day from /reported/ account creation, or 1 day from 1st time the instance sees them?)

@vahnj eh i'd get on to it but heck....where is it implemented ?

also I wonder how the default avi is appended, it is probably added by JS clientside as null (or default avi location is received) and then added to the toot/page/notif.

meaning that same JS could just discard it

only if this is how its done

I also like @er1n 's idea

@vahnj cc: @chr Hey, can we have something like this? (I'm not aware of folks on this instance being targeted yet, but the time to build prevention tools is before you need them.)

@Jssra @chr garg's integrating the changes @PaulFerence​ and I made for the DM notifications. I've created a crappy commit over here if you want the other one:

github.com/vahnj/mastodon/comm

@vahnj @Jssra @PaulFerence ah, in that case i think i'll wait until the next release and see if anything else needs to be done

@vahnj That's very useful, thank you!

@vahnj Stuff like that makes me want to consider moving to awoo.space. :P

@alyx there's one commit i got garg to put together some finalized changes for the DM patch. you can see the results of our work here:

github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/
github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/

i might put together some of the final changes needed to get the < 1 day mute kicked out the door. depends on how my week goes i guess

@vahnj where is your source ? I can't find it from the front page

@halcy i'll prolly put together some unit tests and slap it up there to see if there's interest

garg's refactoring this process some to incorporate Paul and my changes with DM notification blocking so it might conflict with some of his changes
