State of the world update. First, a new 'antizionist' trope bsky.app/profile/stev... The account is a 'network hub'. Soon: monitor by building out subgraph real-time activity tracking in Neo4j. Most tooling is also in place to reconstruct all of an account's activity and network from T=0 ❤️ #atproto

Thanks to the label/ignore block list, labeling backlog and realtime is now sustainable with graph tracking work in parallel. Recent firefighting stabilized the firehose client to run reliably for days on end. Essential work before the US mid-terms, to handle viral disinfo like 'flydubai false flag'

This hobby project - I am a one-man band and not funded by Mossad, regretfully - has affirmed my belief that platform-level moderation beyond: - the most egregious content and hate speech - account authenticity - legality of content is a quixotic project.

Original plan was to build a team. Problem: it's too demanding. In a way, this made the job easier: No AI Automation is needed, must be almost perfect Auto-report uses simple, qualified string matching Limited auto-labeling, mostly confirmed links/slurs Manual review before most account labels

To keep up, accounts are manually labeled after a single egregious post or a pattern of antagonistic posts. Posts are auto-labeled when they contain links to sources viewed as in systematic violation: from Fox News via Greyzone News, back to Al Jazeera: super-spreaders of conspiracy and lies.
