Many of you might be unaware that Mastodon has zero proactive moderation tools, and only prods #admins to respond to annoyances after they happen. Seen a spam 1000 times? Doesn’t matter! You’re going to see it 1,001 because you can’t block it in advance! Want to ignore Fediverse Chick? Too bad! Heaven forbid we match regexps in posts or usernames. Or have built in shared blocklists. Or, well… anything.
That’s how we end up with bizarro stuff like
https://github.com/freeradical-dot-zone/spamhammer. We’re on our own.
