     @pixelfed This uses NLP (Natural Language Processing) to classify spam. This requires instances to have the "Spam detection" enabled and at least 100 spam reports that were marked as spam.

     Instances will be able to import and export training data, and we will make one available so smaller instances can take advantage of this!

     @dansup Great work. I've heard it's challenging to have an open-source spam filter, because fighting spam kind of depends on "security through obscurity" - if the spammers can see how your filter works, they can work around it and then you're not making it expensive enough for them to spam. Do you think that's true? Would be curious to know how you're balancing openness with effectiveness here.

     @scott Yeah that's generally true, however in our case, they won't have access to training data/weights so their success may vary between instances!
