It’s an interesting problem to be sure. It feels like it should be possible for servers to automagically detect spam on incoming federated feeds and decline to accept spam posts.
i look forward to an automated mechanism, like with image checking…
that said, the existing tools arent all that terrible, even if its after the fact.
‘purge content’ does a pretty good job of dumping data from know bad actors. and then being able blocking users/instances.
if everything was rate limited to some degree, we would manually catch these earlier, and block before the rest of the content made its way over… maybe.
There’s already plenty of tools that do this automatically, sadly they’re very often proprietary and paid-for services. You just have to have a way to appeal false positives, because there will always be some, and, depending on how aggressive it is, sometimes a lot.

Maybe an _actual _ useful application of LLMs
