Any of the open-source email spam filters? Not saying they’re excellent by any means but they’d at least take care of the most obvious spam there is. False positives can be dealt with appeals - allow people to actually appeal the decision and get a human to review it. I’d take the occasional false positive with a proper appeals system any day over the current cesspool that is Twitter.

- kaoD 8y agoWell, they're Twitter. How does Google filter all my Gmail spam? So far I've had one or two emails go through in all these years and my account is available in several leaks, receiving tens of spam mails a day. And email seems like a harder place to police, being decentralized. These guys control the gateway to the service!
