Sometimes I can't believe I wrote Autospam

Who would have thought some PHP dev[0] ended up with the best spam detection and mitigation system across all fediverse projects.

Like I'm so proud, it works amazingly and has prevented hundreds of thousands spam posts from appearing on feeds across the world!

@dansup That makes my humble attempts at automated spam blockers which merely sifted through the email header to find where it really came from as opposed to where it did come from, look rather pathetic. That was 20+ years ago though
