Since peedee.es is now an “open” PDS, a fair few measures have been implemented to combat spam or other unwanted content.
This may impact you if you’re experimenting with ATproto development; the PDS now validates a subset of records that are created. At the moment a very small subset (Bluesky posts), but a subset nonetheless.
If you don’t know what this means, you’re good - but for openness, facet mentions are validated as follows:
Really the only way to trigger these is by doing dodgy shit, so if you’re a legit user, it shouldn’t impact you.
I grew up on the Internet during the days where spam wasn’t a thing. I was there for the first one ever sent. So I decided let’s go oldschool. When you make a post, and your account has been on the PDS for less than 30 days, the text is hauled through a Bayesian classifier, that through the miracle of voodoo magic will spit out a probability percentage that your post may or may not be spam. If your post is classified as spam with a high probability, it will be rejected immediately. All valid posts are automatically (after a short time has passed) classified as “ham” (or good posts).
The spam classification system also ties into Bluesky’s Ozone moderation system; it will listen for any moderation event taken against a user on peedee.es - if a post is moderated as spam, it is taught to the classifier as “spam”. This auto-learning mechanic should improve the accuracy of the system, however…
It can happen, no system is flawless. You can contact the admin either on Bluesky or via e-mail at ping@peedee.es
A rejected post will mainly just appear in your client as an error because there’s no way to really pass along any useful messages short of “this request bad mmkay?”.
