The digital housecleaning and the Bulgarian film
As part of the many things that need doing for @threespeak, Eddie and I have set our sights on some house cleaning. Maybe it’s no surprise for me to say this, but storage is not cheap. And you’d be amazed at how much garbage people store.
A conversation I had with Eddie some time ago revealed the crux of the problem: people have tried uploading absolutely everything to @threespeak. From copyrighted material to things that should probably go unmentioned—and although we preach freedom around these parts, we’re not about to be stupid about it either.
It’s quite conceivable that a platform operating for so many years has accumulated a lot of junk. I don’t think I’m being mean by saying that—I’m just being honest. I even find myself laughing at some of the things people decide to upload, and how they upload them.
Just today I found myself staring at a Bulgarian film encoded at 10 frames per second and less than 100 kbps. I swear, I could make a better-looking film using the webcam from my mother’s 15-year-old computer—and I say that with absolute confidence.
Of course, this task is no easy feat. Imagine combing through thousands upon thousands of banned users, flagged videos, and unwanted files, deleting them one by one. Sounds like a description of hell if you ask me—and I’m sure anyone would agree. So, I did what any rational person would do: I made a tool.
A few easy-to-use scripts that do all the heavy lifting. Think of it like directing a destructive Hulk right into the heart of the city—except, in this case, the “city” is a Bulgarian video no one ever needs to see again. Yes, that made perfect sense as I wrote it out.
At any rate, another tool for the bat-belt. My GitHub account is starting to look pretty good, if I may say so myself. My app ideas might not be the greatest, but you can’t say I’ve been lazy. That’s got to count as a win of sorts… hahaha.

It is important to know all this. Thank you for referring to this digital cleanup.
Hi @meno . This made me laugh so hard. Been curating some 3speak videos and I find most of the videos funny. People post so many weird things. I think the more you look the less you ask “why”.
I think it would be a great tool. And well done. You’ve done so much work for 3speak in just a little time. Keep going and yes I’m open to learn from your works.

That's interesting, but in this case, the cleanup you're doing is focused on low-quality posts, correct? So in this case, will it kind of mute these videos from the 3speak frontend? Is it like a general mute?
its mostly people uploading pR0n or full movies... they feel like 3speak is their personal hd or something
Haha, I understand, it's complicated. I don't think this type of content is necessary anywhere, including on web3. I hope your work is very successful. Best regards.
now i want to see that bulgarian video! lol
cleanup tools always good in hand.
good luck
My God ! My first ever film was 25 years ago about HULK in Bulgarian reality filmed in post communism country which was Poland - please don’t destroy it. Lets do remake of all those piece.
Honestly in fact sounds like scrubbing months old banana skin out of the bin surface - but yeah that is why you need jet wash! Well done that u came with solutions
lol we should be pitching these ideas to disney!

This is definitely not an easy task, but I agree with you, it's time to do it.
