I predicted this more than 2 years ago when I was running a fedi node.
Back in 2004 I used to build spam filtering proxies using bayesian filters in spamassassin. And my experience in the fedi instantly made me realize they would be a quick and easy solution for a lot of fedi spam.
So it's fun to see pixelfed taking the leap. I can't wait to see how it evolves.
The fedi being very similar to e-mail is most likely going to see a lot of the developments of e-mail. For example domain verification would also be good. And I also predict some sort of reputation system for instance domains.
- jrnichols 3y agoI'm still a happy SpamAssassin user (self hosting email still) and this is the first thing I thought of as well. especially as I more often consider spinning up a pixelfed instance. The URIBL addition really helped cut down junk, I wonder if it would help here too.
