#fedithreat — Public Fediverse posts

Pixelfed.social is now in Curated Onboarding mode after weeks of closed registrations.

What this means is we are carefully curating new user applications, to ensure our community safety as we've seen an influx of spam/malicious accounts.

Once we're finished with v1 of FediThreat, we will re-open registrations.

Pixelfed (and Mastodon) are increasingly targeted by spammers.

Our current AutoSpam detection using Naive Bayes isn't enough*, so we are building a better detection and mitigation system.

Not only will it leverage (optional) established 3rd party services like SpamHaus, but also threat intel from other trusted "reporter" instances like Pixelfed.social.

It's called https://FediThreat.net, and will be available soon!

I'll be adding more DataProviders to FediThreat before launch, the first two Spamhaus and StopForumSpam work very well.

#FediThreat

🚀 Launching https://fedithreat.net next month!

A modular anti-abuse toolkit that gives fediverse admins the tools they need to keep their communities safe.

Starting with automated spam prevention during registration - letting admins focus on building community, not battling spam.

#FediThreat

FediThreat is open source, and self-hostable, allowing you or your organization to configure your Pixelfed server to query your custom FediThreat server.

It will also support auto registration using http signatures, so you don't have to sign-up for an API key.

Just press a button in the admin dashboard to enable it ✨

Last but not least, it will support other platforms aside from Pixelfed using a simple, yet powerful REST API.

FediThreat is now deployed ✨

We're testing with pixelfed.social and will open it up to other servers early next week, with a public launch in July 🚀

Spam sucks.

That's why we're building FediThreat, a new service that is being integrated into Pixelfed, so you can prevent spammers from joining instead of dealing with them after.

We're testing this on pixelfed.social, and will be launching this publicly in early July ✨
