I am here to announce that I have decreased #spam on my web contact form from 1 message every 15 minutes (for months straight) to 0 messages in the last week by adding a "I am a spam bot" radio button.
I am not joking.
No I am not using something like ReCaptcha, I literally just added a radio button to the list.

We are very happy to announce the availability of the new stable release of Friendica “Interrupted Fern” 2024.12. In addition to several improvements and new features, this release contains the fix for the broken installation wizard.
The highlights of Friendica 2024.12 are
For details, please the CHANGELOG file in the repository.
Friendica is a decentralised communications platform, you can use to host your own social media server that integrates with independent social networking platforms (like the Fediverse or Diaspora*) but also some commercial ones like Tumblr and BlueSky.
If you are updating from an older version than the 2023.12 release, please first update your Friendica instance to that version as it contained some breaking changes.
Ensure that the last backup of your Friendica installation was done recently.
Updating from the git repositories should only involve a pull from the Friendica core repository and addons repository, regardless of the branch (stable or develop) you are using. Remember to update the dependencies with composer as well. So, assuming that you are on the stable branch, the commands to update your installation to the 2024.12 release would be
cd friendica
git pull
bin/composer.phar install --no-dev
cd addon
git pull
If you want to use a different branch than the stable one, you need to fetch and checkout the branch before your perform the git pull.
Pulling in the dependencies with composer will show some deprecation warning, we will be working on that in the upcoming release.
Due to unforseen changes in the CI not possible at the moment.
The database update should be applied automatically, but sometimes it gets stuck. If you encounter this, please initiate the DB update manually from the command line by running the script
bin/console dbstructure update
from the base of your Friendica installation. If the output contains any error message, please let us know using the channels mentioned below.
Please note, that some of the changes to the database structure will take some time to be applied, depending on the size of your Friendica database this update might run for days.
At the time of writing this, none with 2024.12
But the development branch is currently rather unstable and should be used with caution as the development diverged far (for Friendica terms) from the now stable branch. We will let our very valued ALPHA testers when the dev team things that the development branch is stable enough again.
If you want to contribute to the project, you don’t need to have coding experience. There are a number of tasks listed in the issue tracker with the label “Junior Jobs” we think are good for new contributors. But you are by no means limited to these – if you find a solution to a problem (even a new one) please make a pull request at github or let us know in the development forum.
Contribution to Friendica is also not limited to coding. Any contribution to the documentation, the translation or advertisement materials is welcome or reporting a problem. You don’t need to deal with Git(Hub) or Transifex if you don’t like to. Just get in touch with us and we will get the materials to the appropriate places.
Thanks everyone who helped making this release possible, and especially to all the new contributors to Friendica, and have fun!

I think the upgrade instructions should be left in the release notes. They are germane to the topic. What purpose does it serve to send people all over the place, to sacrifice convenience, just to save a few lines of writing and then make the process more complicated?
Having the information needed to upgrade should be handy and in one place, and with the other upgrade information, IMHO, so there is less chance of something being overlooked. There can often be no return from a mistake during upgrading.

Apparently the installer is broken, a known issue:
github.com/friendica/friendica…
Can you add on top of this announcement a text along the lines of:
Right now there is a problem with the installation script of the web page view.
Please perform an installation via the command line, see here for detailed information:
github.com/friendica/friendica…
If you experience troubles getting a password for the first registered admin account, you can change that password from the command line by executing the following commands:
root@VPShosting:/var/www/friendica#bin/console user password "<adminName>" "<newAdminPassword>"
[b]Right now there is a problem with the installation script of the web page view.[/b]
Please perform an installation via the command line, see here for detailed information:

I added a question to my contact form, to answer to which people can find on another page of my website; instantly stopped all spam.
Sorry, eric.jones.z!

Als Antwort auf AnnoyingRains • • •Interesting. I've never had any bot spam from the form on my web site (just the occasional manual spam, but I haven't seen even one of those for years).
There's some elementary validation - there's an email address field for which some sort of DNS lookup has to succeed (dunno what exactly - I nicked the code and haven't looked at it for years) - but nothing clever.
I wonder what I am - completely accidentally - doing right?

Als Antwort auf AnnoyingRains • • •I wonder how this would differ from making that radio button hidden and have the form just not submit if it's selected (by default)
So that it has a clear feedback for people, but, yeah
