  • script to detect vote manipulation using “Jaccard similarity”, derived from code written by danterious for another purpose
  • show basic statistics in community sidebar
  • automatically defederate from instances when trusted instances do. Like a defederation subscription/follow.

It’s really heartening to see that we have maintained momentum for a whole year and that we enter 2025 with a healthy developer community that continues to have fun making meaningful improvements to great software. We are currently brainstorming a roadmap for the coming year. Join us!
