Introducing Citadel! Citadel is a tool for Mastodon admins that makes it quick and easy to find + suspend spammers in one click!

Eventually Citadel will have more tools, but I wanted to get this out ASAP to help server admins.

It's a client-side app, no server. Everything's all in your browser.

Give it a shot: citadel.samw.dev

View source: github.com/samwightt/citadel

(also note that after you log in you will ned to reload the page)

How is this different from Mastodon's admin?

A) It's faster, because there's no page reloads.
B) When you click "Suspend Spam", it does three things: creates a report that gets sent to that server admin, resolves the report on your server, and suspends the account on your server. If you *only* suspend the account on your server, that doesn't help the original server owner because they don't get notified. This notifies them.
C) This lets you view posts really easily :)

Why is Citadel so buggy and ugly?

Because I wrote it today! If you want to help make it better, you can contribute to it on GitHub :) github.com/samwightt/citadel

Really would love some contributions to add more features. I'll probably add another feature or two today!

The more people that use Citadel, the less spam we have on Mastodon. Because we send send reports to the server owner that the spammy account is on, every time you suspend through Citadel, you're helping that server owner identify spam. If the server owner suspends the spammy account, that reduces the spam across *all* Mastodon servers. Network effects, etc. etc. :D
