Is there such a thing as an #ActivityPub spamfilter?
The #Fediverse already has a very heterogeneous software landscape. I'm reading about proposals to add support to #GitLab as well. But one problem would be common to every implementation: Spam.
And just like MTAs don't each implement their own spam filtering and instead rely on rspamd and spamassassin, I feel like some middleware should exist for ActivityPub as well.

Someone thought of this two years ago, but that project really is what it claims to be: simple. And abandoned.

We're not currently doing anything around spam because it's not really a specification issue. There has been a few projects in this space, but when I've tested them they've left a lot to be desired. I can't remember specific names off top of head now though because it's been at least 6 months since I did that reaearch
