@MsDropbear425@infosec.exchange Thank you for your message. The server is currently suffering from a heavy load on the database. Around 150 accounts and the associated data are currently being deleted from the database. Unfortunately, this leads to situations in which the database cannot process any additional connections.
Concerning the need for moderation on the groups node forum.friendi.ca: If I remember correctly, I took over the hosting and administration of our community node in 2016. In all these years there were only one or two cases where moderation was necessary. The administration is not a big deal, either.
From my point of view the best way to advance and improve community support is having people answering questions and giving hints how to use and run Friendica. We have made much progress in that. Some years ago there were only a few active supporters in our groups/forums. These days I see much more people who are helping others.
@kahomono@libranet.de I have deleted around 500 very old and dead accounts. The removal of content and accounts from the database is a heavy job. The queue is pretty long at the moment.
@heluecht@pirati.ca Ähem. The post-content table is 55 GB on libranet.de and 45 GB on venera.social. This table is the second largest table in both databases. :-/
@sascha@loma.ml Wenn Settings -> Additional Features -> Post Composition -> Explicit Mentions eingeschaltet ist, kannst du die Erwähnungen manuell ändern.
@fu@libranet.de The default timeout of Apache for running scripts is 5 minutes. That should be more than enough. But there are more timeout settings...
Friendica has an internal network timeout when clients don't respond. I raised that from 30 seconds to one minute now.
PHP has a max_execution_time setting. The default is 30 seconds. I have now raised that to one minute as well.
I have decided how to handle the threads.net domain on misskey.de. I have muted - but not blocked - the domain on server level. This means you won't see any random public content from threads.net in your timelines. Follow requests are still possible. So, you - as user - can decide to follow someone from threads.net to get their individual content.
This is the current state. Let's see how this works. I'll keep an eye on that topic.
