i made some small portable windows apps and put them up for free.

@lashman No worries. Last time I did a takeout, I used a massive bunch of Word macros (VBA?) to clean up the HTML. When I saw your TypoGenie come across my TL, I thought it was worth a try. I'll keep an eye out for your next release. Thanks!

[lashman@mastodon.social]

@bethroots thank you again :) i will definitely let you know when it's done, i really hope it helps out a bit! :D

[lashman@mastodon.social]

@bethroots ok, i think you're good to go, fingers crossed! :D

[bethroots@mindly.social]

@lashman Thanks. I will get it later after my all-day webinars are over.

[lashman@mastodon.social]

@bethroots sure, no rush :) let me know if that fixes it, thank you so much again!

[bethroots@mindly.social]

@lashman Of course you tested my file, right? 😁

[lashman@mastodon.social]

@bethroots i did, yes, haha! :D it actually helped A LOT

@lashman are there any preventative or mitigation measures for spam?

[lashman@mastodon.social]

@ansiblegames yes, absolutely! :)

https://git.lashman.live/lashman/echoboard#-security

[normplum@fosstodon.org]

@lashman @ansiblegames I was wondering the same. I read through the Security points, but I didn't see anything relating to blocking a bad actor and preventing them posting again under a different account... How is that handled?

[bethroots@mindly.social]

@lashman That worked well, so I moved forward to the full feed on my smaller blogs and hit a few bumps. I took the liberty of sending an email with details and files.

[lashman@mastodon.social]

@normplum @ansiblegames since echoboard is anonymous you can't really "ban" someone (they just clear cookies and come back). instead we make their actions ineffective, proof-of-work makes spam expensive, rate limits and vote budgets keep things in check. phantom voting makes bad votes silently not count, trust scoring flags suspicious activity, anomaly detection catches coordinated behavior. basically don't try to block them, just make everything they do pointless

[lashman@mastodon.social]

@bethroots got it! :) and i'm already on it, haha :D will get back to you once it's fixed

[lashman@mastodon.social]

@bethroots ok, time for round two, haha :) they *seem* to be converting well now on my end, or at least i hope so 🤞
