Meagre improvements¶

Moderation¶

Like I mentioned it last update I am working on moderation. I have made a little bit of progress, currently on brutalinks.tech it’s enabled and as luck has it, we’ve been hit with some spam accounts that we had to silence.

We now have also a wiki page that details some of the technical decisions surrounding this feature. It has received some attention in the fediverse, but no concreete feedback from anyone.

Gob encoding¶

We made a little progress also with the long time in waiting feature of binary encoding items (to be used in the future for the storage layer). This was due to a bug uncovered in using the moderation process where session storage (which is based on the encoding/gob package) decoding would fail for certain values. This forced me to do the work for some of the data types in the activitypub package, but not for all yet.
