As a volunteer mastodon admin I HAVE to balance growing a community with managing my time.
One way this comes up is new account registrations. Approval or Open is the eternal battle I see happen. I hate it.
I want open registration but not loose my life to battling new account spam.
So here is a screenshot of the tool I built. It checks new accounts and grades them and then silences or bans them based on 54 different properties. It's not perfect but seems to work for me.

If the USA starts blowing up power plants in Iran I will not be going to work and I will make it clear to my employer that is why.

@nprofile…44dh I feel very similar and have gone down a similar path recently. For me I've found it does very little wrong for the apps I am trying to make and I am more eager to press 2 because I enjoy the outcome and testing that outcome more then have control over the code.
I've been calling myself a self loathing AI user but I'm in the process of building 5 or 6 apps and tools I have wanted over the years but never found the effort to do.

@nprofile…ugp2 got to talk to @nprofile…7yuj who is a real luminary on this technology but also future ideas for new ways to build social apps!

Sometimes it feels silly to donate $1 to any project but while the amount of money they have is important they also care about total number of donors as a way to demonstrate broad interest in a project.

@nprofile…6zuf nice. I didn't know this was a thing. following in all the places.

Did you know it's time for the Project for Awesome?
The Project for Awesome (or P4A) is an annual event where they raise awareness of charities that make the world a little bit of a better place.
In 2024, they raised a grand total of $3,530,889.25. 50% of donations went to Save the Children and Partners in Health, and 50% of donations were split between 30 charities chosen by the Project for Awesome community.

This one line of code seems to suggest to me that mastodon has an rss feed for hashtags for your account.... but I don't think that is true? I wish I knew ruby better.

@npub1kmn…8cg8 sounds like something that would cause the fbi to show up at your house.

@npub19fc…ay3c seems like another design flaw.

AI is currently the solution to all problems in the same way Uber was once the solution to all problems. In 5 -10 years when the venture comes to get it's profits and cost sky rocket it feels like most companies will scale back use. But in the mean time it will probably decimate a couple of industries that will never recover in the same way.

Mastodon 4.2 seems... fine. I want some cool utility upgrades.

@npub18lj…80hq I just think we could probably do with more laws that just assess anything in terms of moderation. Anything done in excess is probably not good for society.

First #soccer practice of the season tomorrow. Hope I'm ready to coach the 4th/5th boys age. Been trying to think of new drills to do. It's rec so they are much less focused. #coaching

Crypto is all about building a world that can operate without trust (thus it's full of scams). I want to build a world where trust is a foundation we can build on.

@npub1at7…ca7v I can see the jobs but they are often json nonsense that are very hard to parse and understand.

Feels like the mastodon sidekiq queue could use some batching... does activityPub support that?
like most of the day is fine and then suddenly 19k items in the sidekiq queue. And no real way for us normies to know why.
