@embiggenData Cannot stress often enough - Understand #Rump #trump #mus #vought #MAGA #GOP are liars. They #lie constantly, loudly, with bravado, and every media outlet panders to their every pronouncement report the #lies as #facts. #democracy is #difficult. It takes time, engagement, effort, hard work by all of us. We cannot simply accept the lies. We have to fight back with the truth constantly. Time consuming but folks will always take the easy route which now is to oblivion.

@DeltaWye @SynAck @Kuniti_shino @ErikUden OFC that's the nature of most services tht are open t new users.

• #Abuse being a statistical inevitability:

#Shitter (rather #Teitter before #Mus ruined it!) had #API #RateLimiting to make #Spamming less effective (255 Statuses per 24hrs) even back when #TweetDeck was a seperate company...

• Making dynamical limits that instantly lockout i.e. brand new accounts sending the same.message to 10+ others as a DM within 48 hours of registration should act as a speed-bump to #Spammers.

It won't prevent it entirely but make it more cumbersome.

• Sadly #Mastodon #Developers refuse to acknowledge the need for efficient filtering.and ban list managment that every other web-facing application / system can do using blocklist feeds.

This prevents remediation and correction of #banlists & #blocklists, leaving a lot if domains burned forever as the only.options are "replace" and "merge" and the average #ActivityPub admin or even #User isn't going to learn or setup a #git!

• which is frustrating as I maintain multiple blocklists to help cleaning up the mess.

I.e. there isn't really a good way to combat #Typosquatting-based #Phishing beyond banning.offending domains...
