i think pow is easy to implement without significantly affecting UX.
if default difficulty is something like 10, no users are gonna notice, but spam reply bots suddenly require a lot more resources
i come at this from the other side of the horseshoe. i don’t really care about getting followers, but i think it can be markedly harder to find interesting people (to me) on here compared to other platforms.
i usually come across new people on here when they interact with my friends/web-of-trust, but on other platforms it might be from the algo or they reply with something interesting to someone i don’t even follow, which would happen much more often.
added images/videos back to getwired.app- we’ll see how that goes this time, and will probably be very slow for now.
used @Rif'at Ahdi R ‘s cool repo for detecting NSFW stuff.
