Automated label service allowing you to hide Twitter and other screenshots. Created and maintained by @aendra.com and the XBlock volunteers. Mislabelled posts: please report (specifying XBlock) using the Bluesky "report post" button! π xblock.aendra.com
Yeah that's what I'm thinking
25.09.2025 01:58 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Open to feedback: our moderation efforts have really slowed down so it's taking longer than it should to action appeals (apologies!).
I'm thinking, should the appeals process be semi-automated? I've refrained because it's somewhat open to abuse but I suspect it would help more than hinder.
The Ozone instance appears to be struggling, please bear with me as I figure out what's up
25.09.2025 01:47 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0There's been a lot of UI drift lately so it's probably time to retrain the model, I've noticed it's been really bad at labelling Bluesky screenshots as Twitter recently.
I'm juggling a half dozen deadlines right now but I'll try to do that sometime in the next while, please bear with me.
π Info for devs:
Repo: github.com/aendra-rinin...
Current model (xblock-m, TIMM version): huggingface.co/howdyaendra/...
Please feel free to inspect, interrogate, adapt and/or reuse XBlock code/models for your own projects, we welcome and encourage it!
The queue was indeed the issue, there's a 4M post backlog (likely from that week it was down) and newer posts were being put at the very end so by the time a post is processed it's super old and everyone's seen it already. π
I've switched it to process newer posts first so hopefully that'll help! π€πΌ
Update, it should be working better now, I've switched the queue to prioritise newer posts. π€πΌ
07.07.2025 14:49 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Restarted the auto-labelling process and am running into issues with the Redis queue, it seems stable now but will investigate further later.
07.07.2025 11:32 β π 10 π 2 π¬ 0 π 1It's still limping along! I need to retrain the model I think, there's been enough UI drift that it's starting to get really bad at missing screenshots. It's always a huge amount of work to do that so it admittedly might take awhile.
07.07.2025 11:31 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I think there's a connectivity issue with the Ozone instance at the moment and labels aren't correctly propagating, or the model's needing retraining, or something. Please bear with me as I troubleshoot this. ππΌ
04.07.2025 23:03 β π 15 π 2 π¬ 0 π 0Uh sorry I have no idea how long things must've been down for. I should seriously migrate this machine to Linux already
29.06.2025 22:41 β π 16 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0We don't have anything to do with that user's lists, sorry. We simply label screenshots, that's it.
25.03.2025 15:42 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0How weird, it doesn't look much like Bluesky!
Thanks for tagging, I'll add that to the false positive training set, hopefully I can improve that in the future.
I've moved all the firehose parsing to the cloud so expect to see some labels now. π€πΌ
15.03.2025 00:58 β π 31 π 4 π¬ 3 π 1XBlock's down at the moment because my local network can't keep up with the firehose and it keeps knocking my household offline. Please bear with me, I'm going to lift the firehose parsing to cloud in the next day or two and hope to restore service.
13.03.2025 14:14 β π 20 π 2 π¬ 1 π 1Something is totally busted with our local infrastructure right now and I can't seem to keep the firehose consumer running for longer than two hours without it bringing down my entire network. I'm going to need to replatform some infrastructure this weekend, wooo yay lucky me.

05.03.2025 23:03 β π 14 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0We are once again having localised network issues

26.02.2025 12:28 β π 7 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Hi, this broke XBlock. We're now getting 502 errors on the "All" queue tab, though appears "Unresolved" is still working.
26.02.2025 12:26 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0We're having localised network problems at the minute
21.02.2025 15:25 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 1Service has been restored
13.02.2025 15:52 β π 9 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Service is presently down due to a localised network fault
13.02.2025 13:36 β π 27 π 4 π¬ 3 π 1We're back! Our Jetstream interface has been a bit wobbly lately, and I keep missing when it gets knocked offline
01.02.2025 23:41 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0That would be a fascinating thing to research, tbh. You'd ultimately need a "screenshots posted per user" metric, which would be difficult to do as a time sequence because I've not exactly tracked when XBlock's downtime has occurred... π«£
01.02.2025 23:40 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Sorry, we had some downtime! Should be back to normal now!
01.02.2025 23:39 β π 15 π 2 π¬ 0 π 0Okay I think we're back.
Anything posted in the last like 5 days won't be labelled, because these random appview disconnects are impossible to anticipate and fixing them means resetting the appview's cursor. It's really stupid.
It's down at the moment, alas
bsky.app/profile/xblo...
Still no dice, sorry. Service is effectively offline until this is sorted.
13.01.2025 16:10 β π 12 π 4 π¬ 0 π 1Service update: I think something's up with the AppView ingesting labels right now, I'm noticing posts I've labelled still appearing.
I'll investigate that tomorrow but in the meantime apologies if things are working rather poorly.
