A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is my current attempt at preparing to counter the spam waves that will be appearing as the fediverse becomes more and more popular.

It involves the creation of whitelists based on a chain of trust between instances with easy ways to add and remove into it with few overheads.

Let me know what you think and if you're interested, please do register your instance at https://overctrl.dbzer0.com.

I think it may make sense to not only track instances but also users, because any instance with open signup is going to be very volatile.

In fact it would be interesting if you had explicit user vouching. Or at least track "karma" by user. So you can take a given user and "propogate" karma. So people I have upvoted, and people upvoted by people that I have upvoted have trust.

I don't think it's possible to do user tracking like that. The scale is way too large
