Pixelfed.social is now in Curated Onboarding mode after weeks of closed registrations.

What this means is we are carefully curating new user applications, to ensure our community safety as we've seen an influx of spam/malicious accounts.

Once we're finished with v1 of FediThreat, we will re-open registrations.

Pixelfed (and Mastodon) are increasingly targeted by spammers.

Our current AutoSpam detection using Naive Bayes isn't enough*, so we are building a better detection and mitigation system.

Not only will it leverage (optional) established 3rd party services like SpamHaus, but also threat intel from other trusted "reporter" instances like Pixelfed.social.

It's called https://FediThreat.net, and will be available soon!

FediThreat is open source, and self-hostable, allowing you or your organization to configure your Pixelfed server to query your custom FediThreat server.

It will also support auto registration using http signatures, so you don't have to sign-up for an API key.

Just press a button in the admin dashboard to enable it ✨

Last but not least, it will support other platforms aside from Pixelfed using a simple, yet powerful REST API.
