If you want to hide the current deluge of Mastodon spam, either create a filter for krsw-wiki.org in the Mastodon admin interface and/or, if you’re using Mona, mute the keyword.

Screenshot of the Mastodon admin interface on mobile, showing the Filters section with a filter set called Spam with krsw-wiki.org listed as one of the two keywords.

Of course, it would be nicer if the Mastodon interface actually hid filtered notifications instead of doing whatever the fuck this is.

@aral is it possible to add a filter as admin for everybody in the instance? I couldn't find how to do it, I could do it only for myself

@leodurruti Have a single-person instance so I’m sorry, I don’t know. I had assumed the filters would be instance-wide but you know what they say about assuming… ;)

@aral ah ok, no worries. So I think we're going to suspend some instances for a while

@aral Just in case you wanted to know you were being spammed but not what you're being spammed with, for some reason.

@aral
I don't understand filtered notification handling. It's like the devs were afraid that someone would miss an unwelcome message?

I just delete them on sight without opening them. Because that's what the system should be doing for me, I'm pretty sure

@RnDanger @aral That would be this third “Ignore” option I think?

Three filter options for notifications: Accept Show in notifications Filter Send to filtered notifications inbox Ignore Send to the void, never to be seen again

Oh cool!
Mastodon looks very different today after a server update. I may need to poke around

@nclm @RnDanger This is what I see in the admin. Where’s that drop-down?

Filter action * Chose which action to perform when a post matches the filter Hide with a warning Hide the filtered content behind a warning mentioning the filter's title Hide completely Completely hide the filtered content, behaving as if it did not exist

@aral @RnDanger Oh that’s the notification filters (in the Notification screen menu), not the general post filtering.

Lemmy user here. I’m completely unaware of this spam situation, could someone please enlighten me?
