The problem with blacklists is that it's trivial to make endless domains to spam. The fediverse avoided this by being too small to matter , but as the reddit exodus begins this is about to change
It's based on dynamic count. For now it's a very simple how many users per post there are and each instance can set their own threshold for it.
It's not about few users, it's about a tons of users and no activity. If you have 5000 users and 3 posts, it's likely those are all spam accounts. This is what we're checking for right now.
This is not a manual process currently, but I'm planning to add the possibility to whitelist and blacklist instances manually in the future.
yes, constantly adding new domains and spamming with them is a probably vector, but I'm not quite sure if that works due to how federation works. I am not quite that familiar with the implementations.
It just means most of the people with principles have already moved here, or that reddit is engaging in disgusting levels of astroturfing. The latest Announcement is even worse. Regardless, it's just ruined.

Hey. I really like the idea of the fediverse and Lemmy and would want to know as a beginner/not so experienced regarding selfhosting what would be the best way to get started? I saw there are vps options, but don’t know of I’m looking in the right direction.
Hope someone has paid for it and uploaded it elsewhere. There’s whole sites about liberating stuff behing patreon paywalls, I’m sure they do the same for KoFi
The original /r/piracy was purposefully gimped because Reddit received DMCAs for any random thing and didn't even bother to follow up. Since we're in new waters, I want things to be a bit more relaxed, but there's a limit on how relaxed we can be, without starting to get lawsuits, which I will not be able to fight off. I also...
Thank you! Currently the costs would be close to 40 Eur per month, but I’m using some shared resources so the split is not exact. More than 30 Eur for sure.
