Maybe #tagspub could provide a service to warn posters about ambiguous location tags, and then add lat/long or OSMids.

To clarify: what is the advantage to using #TagsPub beyond just regular hashtags? Does it overcome a limitation with the standard federation model?

Bot Notification Filters in Mastodon Help tags.pub

I am OVER THE MOON excited to see that #Mastodon now has a filtering option for notifications from bots. It's working spotlessly from a build of Mastodon 4.6 from today (Here's a screencast of me demoing the feature). This means that people using servers with #tagspub as a relay can opt out of getting boost notifications from tagbots but still keep sharing their content and still keep getting boost notifications from people.

Verrückt, ich habe noch nie eine so umfangreiche Diskussion im Fediverse gesehen 😯

Wenn ich es richtig verstanden habe, sind wir zu dem Schluss gekommen, tags.pub nicht zu sperren, und dass jeder Nutzer selbst entscheiden kann, ob er die Instanz blockieren möchte?

Regardless, #tagspub now checks even more carefully for user domain blocks AND blocks against particular tags.pub bots.

For #tagspub, I've done more fine-tuning with user domain blocks.

I have to admit that I've been surprised at how soft user domain blocks are in Mastodon. I added a bug report for one behaviour that I thought was unclear: a signed request from a blocked domain for your user profile will succeed. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/39318 It may get dismissed as works as designed; I don't know.

User domain blocks also don't keep your content from going out to blocked relays; see here https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/39293 .

Signed GET from user blocked domain to actor is incorrectly successful · Issue #39318 · mastodon/mastodon

Steps to reproduce the problem [email protected] blocks domain other.example [email protected] fetches https://mastodon.example/user/user1 with a signature and Accept: application/activity+j...

I haven't fully understood what the implications are of adding `https://tags.pub/user/_____relay_____/inbox` to your instance. What exactly happens then?
