@Saxophone3784 @NonPlayableClown @alex no one on the fediverse actually gets meaningfully DDoS'd. No one is under serious attack. There isn't a serious spam problem on the fediverse.

The only reason this is true is because the fediverse is a cringe protocol that no one actually cares about. If the fediverse were actually popular the network would become much more militarized like how email works in practice. With real-time blacklists, whitelists, mail provider contact registrations, etc. Email sucks as a result of spam and now email is hardly a open protocol if you don't like being instantly marked as spam.
