While Autospam is highly accurate, it comes down to human intervention.

Sometimes admins can incorrectly assume an account is spam, and then delete the account.

This has happened to me with pixelfed.social, and too many times.

@pixelfed needs a mechanism for users to appeal this, and have the admin decided ability for their account to be un-deleted.

Requires consideration regarding federation, other than that, I think we should prioritize fixing this. Wdyt?

@dansup @pixelfed How about deactivating the account first and after x days it gets deleted automatically?

@dansup @pixelfed I like that:
the mechanism could be:
admin does spam delete -> accound suspended and marked as delete pending (14 days?) -> user has option to still log on and write message to admin

DELETED

@dansup @pixelfed I can only imagine the pure nightmare of detecting, and keeping track, of who's spam and who's not.

On that other Meta owned site it was, apart from the endless ads, a big factor in me leaving it. Spam spam and more spam relentlessly.

I believe anything yourself or the Fediverse can do to increase the battle is great.

It's tricky. But I guess an appeal system for presumed spam account deletion would be good. Also helps if people put face photos and good, relevant wording on profiles. Though that's a privacy concern for many nowadays due to the advance of AI and photo manipulation techniques
