There is a substantial amount of spam and NSFW posts on the All page coming through already. Most NSFW posts aren’t being tagged as such and are coming right through. I am not sure how this can be weathered but we need something in place fairly soon, I feel like we are days away from rivers of bad stuff, especially via some of the federated instances.
EDIT: I personally don’t care much about the NSFW aspect, more in the lines of what a newcomer will be seeing when they get to the main page. 99% of the newcomers don’t know / care about federation and have no idea how to turn that off. Liability for the server owner is also an element of consideration.
Can that be done by users account level or does ernest have to do it for the entire instance?
Things are a bit borked at the moment, so I know you are replying to me, but not sure what I said- can a user block instances from appearing in their feed? Yes - click the instance name and you’ll get a list of articles - in the sidebar (on desktop) you’ll see a panel with a little ‘forbidden’ icon (circle with diuagonal line) - click it and the instance is gone.
