labels will be slow to trigger for a few days - clearing out the old 'newaccount' labels (applied-but-hidden because I removed the def., but this was showing up in apps)

Was dripping these in slowly, but can't keep up with reports any more so dumping all at once and linking to this for a few days
ok as is the case when I fix things - gonna get rate limited, so expect labels to be a little delayed the next few days
if you have been hit with a wrong label, the labeller evaluates on every *post* so you should see it clear up when you next post or reply

there is something going on with the labeller - stalling reading off the firehose & failing reading plc.directory (I think these are my issues not bsky problems)

I have no time to fix until late into the weekend, so pls bear with 😔

something going wrong in labeller land - labels will be behind for a few hours

Some bugs with

- updated non-plc detection
- engagement hacking label

So those will be out after Christmas. Rest going up now.
This is finishing up

4 changes coming when it's all done:
- nostr label apply to new nostr bridge (can someone link me that PDS?)
- changed handle expire after 14 days
- updated non-plc detection
- engagement hacking label (starting this at following >4k & 4:1 ratio)

expect early in next week

just on moderation - I'm one guy unaffiliated with bluesky. I can do nothing with other reports.

I understand the 'do something' urge to tick every box, I do, but it would mean a lot to my sanity to not be pulled to the worst things on the site, esp. since I can't do anything them.

the labeller may flag you as 'changed handle' if there's a resolution issue (in particular - if it can't reliably resolve a did and connect to plc.directory) - if you get flagged, it'll unflag on your next post after the problem is resolved

some caching issues with labels for new accounts (and changed handles bc the tag changed) - old labels are sticking around in the UI even though they're gone from the labeller (negating them as I see them, but it's slow)

force quitting the iOS app or force-refreshing the browser seems to fix it
November 5, 2024 at 6:59 PM
Ok it's set up - 'new account' is gone.

Other labels should clear up over the next few days so if you're currently mislabelled with new handle, that should go away soon.
I didn't get a chance this week (sorry) but this coming weekend will be the end of the 'new account' label.

ok. got some hard-ish decisions upcoming.

The network is now large enough that labelling new accounts is becoming untenable, even when I only label on post the labeller falls behind.

I get a lot of feedback that 'new account' is a major anti-scam tool, and I'm worried about taking that away.

so far these have stayed ahead of the influx, but I label *new accounts on first post* so doing a lot of numbers right now and we may be back to lag city
ok I need to push a set of updates to the profile labeller in the next few days to make the number of labels something more sustainable - I've been putting this off bc life but unfortunately some things need to shift:

thank you by the way, to those that have been really patient with this - it sucks to have the wrong label just hanging around
some of these are in - the incomplete label, and I've compressed out a lot of redundant events (down by about 75%)

labeller is about 2 weeks behind by my reckoning, with substantially lower label 'density' now so it shouldn't be too many more days before it catches up

(I don’t really have a good sense of how long this will take but will try estimate a time in the next day or so - I didn’t think to set up a log report for ‘what if I label too much’)
There are still a lot of labels out there that have yet to attach/remove - at this point all the labels have been *applied* so we're just waiting for the AppView to read all the labels off my label service (i.e. this is an app limit).
10,322,121 🤯

ok now for the appview to *consume* them all

I have about 1.5m to go, and have put out 8,494,814 label events since the start of my labeller - gonna hit 10m by the end of the week probably

that's a bit

I suppose I didn't account for how many redundant entries there were when I saw millions of accounts all at once - 1,777,956 to go.

That's... 2 days. And since I don't have time to work on it before the weekend anyway, suppose I'm doing things the slow way.
only 6 million records to go at 10/second…

very tempted to just dump it direct into the ozone db but I’m not sure if it cares about having valid signatures

I still have a week to go before all the labels for the Brazilian invasion have been emitted 👀

I will send a carton of Real Australian Beer to the Bluesky team member that uncaps my ozone firehose

Meus feeds e rotulador passaram pelo maior pico (até agora), mas estarão um pouco atrasados por um tempo enquanto processam - por favor, tenha paciência, é como dois meses de atividade em dois dias.

(muitas menções do Brasil, por favor, perdoe a tradução automática)
