  4. Is #Akismet currently broken? I'm getting (primarily Turkish) Spam every other minute in my WordPress Blog...

  5. Linktipp: Spamschutz-Plugins

    TeamUpdraft hat die bekanntesten Spamschutz-Plugins einem ausführlichen Test unterzogen, und die Antispam Bee schneidet sehr gut ab.

  6. Oh come on!!!
    Akismet wants to force me to pay for their service because I have a link to a Ko-fi page on my site. A Ko-fi page that brought me a grand total of 5€ in several years. 🤦

    Dear Wordpress, this is because of shit like this that more and more people don't like you anymore.

  8. I just got an email from Akismet (the WordPress spam plugin).

    They say they reviewed my WordPress site today (which I shut down and replaced with Ghost a week ago). Apparently I'm a corporation now, and I need to pay them to keep using their plugin.

    Cool story, you guys.

  12. Some weird #spam getting through #Akismet. They all seem to centre around an old post, not unlike Facebook, where bots are reposting a 2010 video.

  14. FFS, even the Akismet plugin just slaps in some HTML that it constructed as a string with hard-coded `style` attributes and a `<script>` tag with inline code.

    It's nearly 2025. It has never been easier to write good, secure code. How are even spam/security components THIS BAD at it? 🙄

  16. Hey fediverse if you have a WordPress site, a new version of Akismet anti spam plugin (v5.3.5) is now available

    Akismet plugin: wordpress.org/plugins/akismet/

    Did you know your website can connect to the fediverse? Try the activitypub plugin so you can connect with Mastodon and others

  18. Anyone else finding #Akismet letting through really obvious spam on #Wordpress lately? This one even had a link.

  20. @emaechler so one of the things that I liked for a ling while was the inclusion of my blog in the WordPress Reader and allowing people to Like/Reply via WordPress.com. My blog has now been setup to integrate with #ActivityPub so I sort of now prefer that to the WordPress.com syndication/integration now. This is another reason for me to finally drop it.

    Thanks for the comment spam plugin recommendation. I like that @pfefferle is also a contributor. 😄

  22. Bah, I deleted a post right after I figured out the answer, but didn’t see someone had replied. While replying, their message disappeared (‘cause I guess replies get nukes when the parent post is deleted? Still learning the ins and outs here)
    Anyway, thanks to whoever responded to my #jetpack #wordpress question - I found the disconnect & disable controls. Any reason we should worry about #akismet for now or so we trust that they’re only checking comments?

  24. @gn I have yet to receive any spam 🤔

    Mastodon should totally add support for existing anti-spam mechanisms such as #akismet: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

  26. @mjg59 @jacob We do not only have to look at email, we can also look at blogs, and blogs solved their spam problem partly by using a centralized spam checking tool like #Akismet: mastodon.social/@pfefferle/111

  28. Is there any documentation on the #Mastodon webhooks system? Maybe it is already possible to integrate a simple #Akismet filter!!!?

  29. As much as I rely on it, I shudder to think what would happen if #Automattic, the publisher of #Wordpress, unilaterally decided to suspend the #Akismet comment spam filter service or change the support plans. THEN what?

  30. @tchambers I have just finished listening to it 😊

    Thanks a lot for all your support!!!

    By the way, the #Akismet team is already working on constantly improving its system to work seamlessly with ActivityPub and Webmentions!
