Simple Bayesian Filters in Mastodon - when?

Can we maybe integrate /interface SpamAssassin in /with ?

@thomas Very poor fit. SA Bayes plugin is not designed for portability and it is not terribly sophisticated. Most of SA’s effectiveness is in its hundreds of other rules and the feedback system.

I believe that there are other Bayes implementations that are more readily repurposed and more robust, such as supporting 2-token sequences.

@thomas in this case it would already help to not promote the biggest instance in the network as default and put more and more load onto their moderation team, which does not seem to scale well

bencurthoys,

@thomas If Mastodon had functioning search I'd be able to find the idiot who was telling me that Mastodon would never have a spam problem a couple of months ago.

They were asserting that the Fediverse would be better if everyone ran their own personal instances, and would not accept that meant that spammers would run riot because every user would have to be the instance admin responsible for blocking their own spam with no economies of scale.

But also:

@thomas mastodon about to inherit many of the issues with email

@thomas hmm... What spam is varies from account to user.

I follow some accounts that only post pictures without any text (even alt text) and they're fine.

@thomas EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN.. also.. just federate moderation actions

blocked emails/blocked ips/blocked spam keywords could be an activitypub action. Classic infosec problem of how do you share threat intel
