Just to let you know. Most of the blocked instances you see for programming.dev (since your account is here) aren’t forums you would normally interact with but are various ones on the microblog side that cause issues (for hate speech, spam bots that have seo spam posted in various threads, cp, etc.). For forums running lemmy and piefed the amount is very low.

yeah pretty much exactly that. It’s custom built 100% by our team with no external tools or anything (just a way to notify us using apis). it’s technically a separate running code since we can’t hook it into the base lemmy code that easily but acts the same way

Fair enough. Could you edit your crossposts to the new version of the post that has some clarifications just so there’s no misscommunication about this anywhere (you could put the original under a lemmy spoiler block which turns it into a dropdown for people that want to see original wording, details on how to do that here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html. Or some other way you want)

Theres no LLM involved. This version of the post doesnt have the tldr to clarify some things so ill just repost my comment here

• Were not sending data to an LLM but the method is hidden so bad actors cant bypass it (you can disagree on that but the main issue is bots that are able to check blacklisted content and then just edit messages slightly to bypass it)
• The things that are checked are public (posts, comments, and dms that are also sent to other servers we dont control) and can be moderated on regardless of this. There isnt anything that breaches privacy
• Worst thing it can automatically do is temporarily remove a post/comment until an admin can approve or deny it just so its not there for people to run into (for example if someone spams slurs at someone else the someone else doesnt see that instead of it being there until an admin is able to come online)

For context this is for programming.dev specifially and affects our users rather than something on any fediverse software (figured I would mention that since it was cross posted into the main fediverse com with no context)

Reposting my answer to a comment on the main p.d post just so theres no confusion on this

• Processing is local. Were not sending data to an LLM but the method is hidden so bad actors cant bypass it
• The things that are checked are public (posts, comments, and dms that are also sent to other servers we dont control) and can be moderated on regardless of this. There isnt anything that breaches privacy
• Worst thing it can automatically do is temporarily remove a post/comment until an admin can approve or deny it just so its not there for people to run into (for example if someone spams slurs at someone else the someone else doesnt see that instead of it being there until an admin is able to come online)

comment was restored instantly since it shouldn’t have hit that message (ill probably try to get piss removed from the check). Just a way for admins to be able to check messages to prevent new accounts from instantly harassing people after sign up

im saying the posts and content are fine, just dont swamp every other type of content with it. Give breathing room for other communities and other people in this community to be able to have things surface. You can still post things hence why you havent gotten any moderation action here past getting your flood of posts removed.

some users can like attribution to reddit a lot of others dont. Not everyone has the same opinion or is the same person

yeah but ideally it wouldnt be. People come here to escape reddit they dont want to be reminded of it. Just warning that if you post with it youre going to get a lot more complaint comments

4 posts were still left up from your batch after I cleaned up some to clean the home instance feeds and them the mods trimmed it down more (from 19 within the same small window of time). Just make sure to spread posts out so theyre not all posted in a chunk (and dont use camelcase for titles or have connections to reddit). This post is more than a day after the other ones so would be fine

that still automatically pulls the content even if its manually reviewed which makes it go out much faster than any people manually making memes would be able to post at

just space things out so youre not doing more than a couple a day here and dont just copy titles and stuff 1 for 1

Just a measure to make sure this stays a human zone and not bots spamming everyones post feeds for all the different communities without any sort of curation

When posting in communities in the instance please follow the automation guidelines (Section 2 and 3 match the most) https://legal.programming.dev/docs/automation-guidelines/

Notably the section that says 75% of recent content should be human created not automatic and accounts with automation should be marked as such

It tends to make each individual post do worse as well when theyre spammed like this at once

edit: Just saying this here for transparency, I removed half of the posts so that theres 9 now instead of 19. Leaving the rest this time but if theres more feed spam I would be reducing that to match the guidelines more instead of leaving a bunch like here (mods of the community can determine whether to handle this batch more but this clears up the general instance feeds)

outbound federation was down here for a bit. meme is kinda out of context now since it’s working again lol

the bots still a work in progress, the removal for now still removes it for local users before an admin can look at the content for communities it can’t be fully removed from (false alarms then get unremoved though)

Pangora should be back up atm if you wanted a reference to what it looks like. It’s something I just havent been maintaining and updating atm since ive been focusing on getting some other projects finished and lemmy has been good enough so far on this side

Whenever you get slowness issues let one of the infrastructure team know and we can look at it. I just fixed something out that might fix some of the issues (were still behind a bit behind on activities from lemmy.world for a bit though while that tries to catch up)

Theres technically a code review community at !code_review@programming.dev although ive seen some people also post code reviews in the language/engine communities

we also host an instance of opengist at https://blocks.programming.dev/ as an alternative to those if wanted

Ah yeah I need to refresh the data, ill do that later

Nobody reported it as down to me, I can bring it back up

Been working on some other projects recently so havent really looked at that site much
