So admins have to do ocr on every pic now?

It might be more effective to penalize instances with open sign ups that the bots are using, to pressure such instances to use bot-filtering tactics on their sign up pages.

Rate limiting, blocking DMs, or defederating (perhaps graduated after a warning) from minor instances that can't control bots sounds like a reasonable admin action.

I think the most effective would be to add a step so you could only write a message to people when both parties have consented or something like that.

I just got this exact same message. Different account tho. Couldn't report it for some reason even though the account isn't banned yet.

It seems like the theory of deanonymizing users using images makes more sense with this

Never underestimate the lengths that thirsty bois will go.

And most OSs provide OCR.

Fun fact: her matrix server is a cesspool of racist garbage

What is that font up there?

[–] puppycat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i installed it from my phone's personalization app but it doesn't seem like a commercial font or anything (no results from google). i just feel like it helps my dyslexia idk

[–] lnxtx@feddit.nl 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What's the name of that app?

[–] puppycat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

[–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It looks like a dialogue tree from the 16bit Fallout games.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does it? I'm not a font guy but to me it looks more like comic sans.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

[–] Sibshops@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

I was wondering what happened. I haven't heard any updates on her recently.

What are "pre-health" sciences anyway?

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

IDK. But If I had a gun to my head, I would say a category of undergraduate major before going into a doctoral or a graduate in the medical field.
