I feel like the python script is maybe a bit too extreme ? 20 times more users than posts might happen on smaller instances people use mostly to browse the big ones, I feel. I ran it with a suspicion ratio of 100 and it didn't seem to block any "legit looking communities". But then again, it is very hard to tell.
Thanks a lot for your work !
Mostly because it would invalidate any single user self hosted instance, which I fin is one of the big draws of the fediverse in general.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Indeed, thanks a million for giving the community tools at this critical juncture. Very much appreciated!
Well I dunno, this seems pretty consistently dumb as shit.
You have one user and has many comments and post as you make yourself. This means that your suspicion score is going to be extremely low (under .5 if you post 2 times on any server).
Holy litteral shit.
It probably means that you have enabled the "everything feed" in liftoff settings. This aggregates content from all instances apparently, even those not federated with yours.
Edit: weird cause you seem to be on sh.itjust.works which is federated with Lemmy.world.
The python script only uses the open source Lemmy API. Everything else is contained within its few lines of code.
Woah this app is a lifesaver thanks a lot!
Agreed. If a better system comes along, great but in the meantime I am glad to have this kind of initiative to prevent us from being swarmed.
To be fair, it's not like those were under control on Reddit either.
Yeah, probably. I'm afraid they're going to keep a few 3P apps up, though (they already have started this process) long enough for people to migrate to their official app (because of NSFW content no longer being accessible through the API). So this may take a few years.
