  • I think it only looks at recent votes, like the last 30 days or something like that.

  • Is there a fediverse service that access most fediverse networks?

  • More downvotes than upvotes. -100% is always downvoting, 100% is always upvoting, 0% is in the middle and that's the threshold.

    Most people sit around 70%.

    I just had a bit of a dig around, looking at the worst attitudes. There was one guy who did 1800 downvotes (and no upvotes) and wasn't blocked because it was all on the same day (this must have been before the vote quota was added). So the system is pretty loose.

  • People with a really bad attitude (always downvoting more than upvoting) lose their ability to downvote. Not straight away, after a couple of days. So someone can have a bad day but not every day. Once they upvote enough they get the downvote ability back.

    It automatically defangs serial downvoters, basically. The vast majority of people upvote at least 5x more than they downvote so this very rarely has an effect.

    Also in the admin area the user list can be sorted by attitude to find all the serial downvoters. What admins do next is up to them. I doubt most ever check this.

  • What fedi accounts are you following?

    Jump

  • Yes some people really really overdo their boosting so it needs to be avoidable somehow!

  • There isn't a correct way yet. I'm getting other things tidied up before opening the flood gates.

  • What fedi accounts are you following?

    Jump

  • I'm not following anyone yet. It'll get a whole lot more interesting once we can accept boosted posts, which I'm working on now. Currently we're only seeing posts the authors wrote, not posts boosted by people we follow.

    It's a bit complicated because in Mastodon people often boost a post halfway through a conversation so when it arrives here we've got a fragment of a conversation and need to go out and get the rest before it can be stored. In contrast with Lemmy the top-level post always arrives first, followed by comments on it so it's simpler to accept them.

  • It looks like there is an 'enable toxic mode' setting that DOES switch off the auto-updating blocklist. The LLM that wrote this post claimed that there is no way to turn it off.

    from src/lib/policies/system.ts: 

       
        
export async function updateSystemFilterPolicy() {  
    if (SBDisabled && get(userSettings).enableToxicMode) {  
        SYSTEM_POLICY.set(BLANK_SYSTEM_FILTER_POLICY)  
        return  
    }  
   // auto-update of blocklist continues below

    The original post was written using AI so it's going to have a lot of inaccuracies like that.

    Overall though, having gone through the code myself, the LLM is in the right ballpark. The most friendly evaluation I can give is that this does seem poorly documented, too opaque and overly prescriptive. And needlessly encrypting the payload looks very shifty.
