   @viticci as I mentioned to someone else, this was bound to happen once the fediverse became big enough for them to notice!

     @jerome @torspedia @viticci As flawed as eg. email is and can be dealt with in similar ways

     Remember talking to eg @evan about this and I did an initial extraction of his old Akismet-style filter for activity spam: https://github.com/voxpelli/activityspam-filter

     (@pfefferle: Do you know if Automattic has any plans on making Akismet usable with Mastodon?)

     @voxpelli @jerome @torspedia @viticci @evan sure, but I am not sure if #Mastodon does support third party spam filtering yet?!?

     @torspedia @viticci yeah seems like a fundamental flaw as servers are automatically added to the network so you can just keep recreating new instances and will always get in.

     @pfefferle @jerome @torspedia @viticci @evan It’s a bit of a catch 22 I think, if there are no services to plug into it then why build support for it? And why build support for it if you can’t plug it in?

     I would be happy to plug it into my Webmention endpoint, maybe @snarfed.org would be happy to plug it into some parts of Bridgy?

     (A downside in some OSS-projects, not sure if in Mastodon as well, is that they refuse to add support for such mechanisms unless they are usable out of the box)

     @voxpelli @jerome @torspedia @viticci @evan @snarfed.org Akismet should already work fine with ActivityPub and potentially Mastodon! We train the system with the Webmention and ActivityPub plugins for WordPress for quite some time now!

     @pfefferle @evan @snarfed.org Anywhere I can read about how to use it on eg my Webmention endpoint?
