 BeatLink | the main problem i think would be who will be ponying up the time and manpower to populate said policy servers? | 07:48:41 |
| BeatLink | ive heard horror stories of facebook moderators seeing all kinds of horrible crap | 07:48:57 |
 uep | there are already reasonable mechanisms for publishing and sharing blocklists | 07:53:36 |
| uep | and out bot shares (both inbound and outbound) with others | 07:54:21 |
| uep | but it doesn't apply to invites, and there's no real way for clients to use them, and the format is a bit limited so you can't use things like patterns for usernames | 07:55:40 |
| uep | and all the other things, like deleting images, are reactive and subject to lag and the vagaries of matrix being inconsistent | 07:56:32 |
| uep | so, for example, someone has been creating thousands of <hex-hash-guid>:home.server usernames, and sending spam, and they get added to the shared blocklist, so the bots dutifully add them to the block lists of all the channels they're protecting | 07:58:45 |
| uep | and i'm sure at some point this is going to be a new attack against matrix servers when those are too long | 07:59:13 |
