Darnell (TeleVerse)Five Features Fediverse Creators Should Copy From Counter SocialBy darnelltv

@dansup @pixelfed This is actually a huge issue across all social networks. I remember @th3j35t3r detected fake accounts created on (counter.social) from hostile nations & spam farms last year according to memory.

Counter Social suspended the hostile/spam bots (using an algorithm I think) & had all of the accounts manually reviewed to make sure legit accounts were not deleted.

It’s a long & tedious process.

Are they are trying to keep anyone in the from joining‽ 😂

I guess I will only use for banking & streaming, but not for anything related, or for use upon two social networks (Threads & ).

did an excellent job making video uploading simple yet stable.

I would not be surprised if these sites rejoined the Fediverse in the near future (by reactivating ) now that ’s new social network (called ) is entering the Fediverse.

@tchambers Fair point. However, I would not be surprised if variant sites like & embrace the , albeit as a premium option.

@atomicpoet @fediversenews Oh wow! I did not realize that Join (joinsiaspora.com) was shutting down! That is sad news indeed!

Yeah, I know FediDB (FediDB.org) removed Pawoo, although they oddly have kept Baraag listed (that site allegedly is a haven for questionable NSFW content).

Also, (counter.social) is now a top ten instance according to Instances Social (instances.social), even though they are not federated.

@kapowaz @Mrfunkedude @FediThing Algorithmic timelines should only be considered if there is a reverse chronological timeline as an option as very few algorithms get it right.

has an amazing algorithm, but it comes at the expense of sacrificing user privacy in ways that would make Google jealous.
