I used to use the Stop Spammers extension on WordPress to deal with spam. It was okay, but I realized it was buggy. (And no, I'm not reporting the bug. I'm too lazy for this shit, and it ain't my problem anymore.)

I switched to Antispam Bee and I find it much better than Stop Spammers ever was. I don't even see most of the spam it catches (unless I open up the Spam category on my instance) because the idiot spammers fill a hidden field that causes the extension to immediately decide that this is spam.

I'm now using this plugin to take care of the spam on one WordPress instance of mine:

It is not perfect, but it is doing a nice job.

Sigh, got my first crypto/ai spam on here. Reported back to the techhub.social server and blocked. πŸ™„ I've never understood what spammers hope to achieve with this.
