Gregory's Server@trwnh I love that iOS app setting but if we're talking about spam, it's not a solution. I'm sure a lot of people won't want to set it to "anyone I follow" only and then you're on square one.

 @trwnh Any sign-up delay causes dramatic drop-off in onboarding. You might get rid of spammers but you'll also get rid of the majority of legitimate people trying the platform out. |
@Gargron maybe something like filtering out a notification if it contains a link and no one follows that user locally? would at least stop link-spam
although idk i personally still think a widespread culture of human-reviewed signups is the best safeguard against spam -- anything beyond that is plugging leaky holes...
