I consider flagging every tag they can for unrelated topics spam, and as such, will sandbox it from the network timeline. FYI
-
@maiyannah I'm probably gonna leave the gnusocial group. I was hesitant to join since there's a bunch who tag the group in for random things.
-
@archaeme The \fediverse group seems to be the one actually designed for what many people use the \gnusocial one. Perhaps it's just as well they haven't found the \postactiv one yet.
-
-
@archaeme If you're the admin yeah, though I've not actually seen it from the UI side, just the code, eheh.
-
@archaeme Looked now and its bundled in with the "block" functionality for groups. Probably I should try to split it, but if a group "blocks" a user their membership is removed.
This is not in the qvitter interface as far as I can see. You have to use classic.

@maiyannah nope - !fediverse is for *everyone* on any service/instance that *federates*. That includes gnusocial instances of course but also StatusNet and Friendica and anything else that can federate. (So sadly not pump!) If we can talk to each other and follow each other (even one way) it's part of the fediverse. I know, I invented the term. :-!
-
@mk The specific software groups are generally meant as user groups for those software. I can't speak for anyone but my own but I can speak for mine, and the /postActiv group is not the appropriate venue to just go "hey guys" - and such posts are off topic. It is the place to go to talk about postactiv, receive support, or discuss development. General discussion is off-topic and putting a bunch of noise in my signal, which I do not appreciate.
I've noticed a lot of people lately tagging 10+ groups in a single post just looking for attention. In my time we had a word for that.
That word is spam.-
@maiyannah !fediverse is not a 'specific software group' - before you post assumptions what a group is "for" try looking up the actual group's description (and who the admin is). I happen to know what the !fediverse group is for - no assumptions necessary. ;-)
-
-
@maiyannah "The \fediverse group seems to be..." You seem to miss what I'm saying. All I'm saying is: Do NOT "assume" what a group is "for" until you have first read its description and researched who the founder/owner of that group (and even the concept it's named after) is.

@mk This post is where I kind of know you missed the point of what you were saying because I was suggesting the /fediverse group IS that group that's like that.
Not the postactiv group.
I happen to know what I want to happen in the postactiv group, being it's founder, admin, and lead developer of the software.
So
Yknow-
@maiyannah "This post is where I kind of know you missed the point of what you were saying because I was suggesting the /fediverse group IS that group that's like that." No. !fedivers is NOT "designed for what many people use the \gnusocial one" for. And it doesn't "seem to be" that either.
-
@maiyannah "Not the postactiv group." Then I suggest you change the group's subtitle "the Fediverse" to something that suggests the software rather than a federated community called the "Fediverse". It's somewhat misleading as it is now ;-) If you're serious about 'the /postActiv group is not the appropriate venue to just go "hey guys"' that is.

@maiyannah and in *my* time I was a spam fighter. Before even Evan could be convinced there was such a thing as 'spam'.
-
@maiyannah so, please go on and write algos to make spam fighting possible; I suspect you're still scratching the surface but even that is badly needed.
