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
