 It seems this happens occasionally on #fedi where malicious users decide to take advantage of instances with poor moderation to spam widely. There are many solutions, but let me offer a simple change that stops spam dead in its tracks: #nodebb has a post queue built in. If you have 0 reputation, you need your post to be manually approved. You can adjust this as needed, but even the default (allow regular posting after 1 upvote) is sufficient. Stops 👏spam 👏 cold 👏. Does there exist a brief write-up of how content is federated out? Do different #ActivityPub implementors federate content differently? (@stesnac suggests so!) Here's my head-canon at present... when a note is created, the note is sent to all followers. If users are mentioned, the note is also sent to those users' inboxes. If a note is addressed to the public collection, do it just get blasted to all known instances' inboxes? @devnull Some clues about Lemmy, Mastodon and Threads in this series of posts : https://seb.jambor.dev/posts/understanding-activitypub/ Yesterday: "#threads will be an unmitigated disaster for the #fediverse, defederation is paramount" Today: "hi guys please like and subscribe to my threads account here 👉 .."  @protecttruth the sad truth is the other auto manufacturers pursuing FSD are honest (at least when it comes to human life). #Tesla and #Elon aren't. These checks and balances are being tested probably for the first time in a long while. @c_9 wonderful idea, better than my brainwave today of replacing stop signs with speed bumps that scrape the bottom of your car if you go faster than 5 km/h |

We also have integrated project honeypot, akismet, and captcha, but those are passive technologies that can be worked around given time.
But simple is best — raise the bar of contribution just a tiny bit, and the effect on spam is huge. To get around a post queue, spammers have to make a quality contribution, and that's hard when spam accounts are automated by script.
Does #mastodon support any of this?
