I've removed them.

This stuff hasn't been the cause of the recent outages. The admin did a Debian update a few days ago, and somehow the server is very unstable ATM. The entire server has been dying on us, so we can't even put up a static maintenance screen.

There is discord and matrix if you need to get in touch, linked in the sidebar. Unfortunately, as we are a very small team, we can't guarantee that notifications will be sent for unplanned outages, but we do try to send them for planned outages.

There is also a status page, but given it appears to be broken I won't link it :D

If you have any other solutions we'll be happy to consider them.

I removed the original post.

You need to set the bot flag on the account. If you don't, your account will be banned and purged.

Hi,

You must follow the instance guidelines on automation. https://legal.programming.dev/docs/automation-guidelines/#2-bots

Please mark yourself as a bot.

There is no need to bring race into this. Feel free to resubmit your comment without the race commentary.

Fortunately, most of the visible stuff has been caught and purged quickly, so you may have just missed it.

The DM abuse is basically invisible except to the targets.

We don't want to do this kind of thing, we are being forced to, because bad actors keep using our server to send harassment.

If you know a better way to handle that, we are all ears

This community isn't specifically for programming related to AI, its just general "AI related news and articles" as per the side-bar.

You created this post in the general programming community. Discussions comparing JADEx to other languages are on-topic.

If you join another instance, you wont be subject to our filter. It is meant to prevent abuse, we have issues with new accounts abusing other users, and this is our only way to prevent it.

I have been manually undeleting the messages as I get to them, but it is a human process, so it takes time.

It's not capitalism.lemmy, it's programming.dev, your home instance. You are a new account, and subject to our profanity filter. Which you have been hitting frequently.

Yeah, I know. I am working on the bot in my spare time though, so right now it's pretty rough around the edges.

The bot auto-removes all image posts from new accounts. We have an issue with new accounts using images to send abuse.

It sucks, and I dont like that we have done this, but there is just 1 asshole who is ruining it for everyone.

We had a bunch of new accounts created that immediately hurled abuse at another user. It got us briefly defederated from a few instances. We are using the profanity filter to raise those kinds of post to our attention so we can deal with them rapidly.

Once we are sure the new account is behaving itself, the filter is turned off. We don't care if you swear, as long as it's in line with the code of conduct.

We do, the library I am using isn't the best. If you know of a good rust lib for profanity checking, feel free to share.

But we are kinda okay with it being a bit over-eager. It only applies to new accounts, and I am actively reverting the messages if its an error. Its scaling okay for now.

Just wasnt fast enough in this case.

pASSword - Profanity filter caught you. Sorry.

They didn't, our auto-mod did. We have an automod that detects profanity.

I have disabled it for you now.

Perhaps upload to YT or similar, and link here?
