picnoir | The mjolnir bot should help with the spam. | 11:55:21 |
K900 | I believe the other concern is the bridging | 11:55:30 |
picnoir | Yes, I think this would be the way to go. But we have to talk about that with the full moderation team first. | 11:55:52 |
linj | mjolnir:nixos.org is indeed in that room, but it does not work for that specific spammer | 11:57:09 |
K900 | It does not generally work automatically | 11:57:23 |
linj | That spammer manually crates new matrix.org accounts and manually joins that room | 11:57:42 |
linj | I do not think mjolnir works in this situation but would like to be proven false. | 11:58:17 |
K900 | It depends on what the spammer is actually doing, Mjolnir can likely be configured to detect that | 11:59:04 |
picnoir | ah right, it's bridged to a telegram room | 12:01:13 |
linj | The sammer keeps posting things contains some key words. No, matching those key words will not work because they have infinite variants. | 12:01:30 |
linj | What is concern about bridging to telegram? moderation? | 12:02:24 |
K900 | Yes | 12:05:47 |
linj | Just curious, there are many rooms whose main language is not English in the nixos space and one room description says it is bridged to telegram. Do they not have any moderation issue? | 12:10:46 |
linj | I have been in that room for a few years, discussions are mostly about tech. I only remember one incident needing moderation. Maybe another way is to do nothing until there are new incidents needing moderation, just like how moderation is done for https://discourse.nixos.org/c/learn/chinese/. | 12:24:47 |
picnoir | Well, the discourse category is mostly idle. The matrix room is quite busy.
Don't worry, we'll likely figure something up. Give us a bit of time to see how to make that happen. It's Saturday, we're not all online. | 12:26:53 |
