Mastodon's anti-spam capabilities would improve 1000x if it just used SpamAssassin's Bayesian algorithm to train on spam text
fucking basic shit

@packetcat I keep wondering how feasible it would be to like... build that as a 3rd party app for Mastodon?
I guess idk how many API methods for admin stuff are exposed but surely you could make an app that could act as an admin and handle that stuff but I'm a bit out of my depth
Even though it would only be effective when used from m.s in that case because even as an admin on tenforward.social I doubt you can easily detect "random account from m.s mentions someone on my instance" but maybe I'm wrong.

@eramdam @packetcat I'd say it's fairly feasible in a smaller scale, but you're going to hit limits if you want to cast a wide net. See https://codeberg.org/GunChleoc/mastodon-scripts by @gunchleoc for some examples. I also run a heuristic spam filter against new registrations to prevent SEO accounts.

@austin @eramdam @packetcat There's also an antispam fork of Mastodon https://sakurajima.moe/@sakurajima/113426574060882095
