I'm building a public Autospam detection service that will be compatible with Pixelfed, Mastodon and other projects!

I'm leveraging my expertise* in Autospam, along with my 3 year old dataset to build the best fediverse Akismet alternative.

Are you interested? Boosts appreciated!

Sometimes I can't believe I wrote Autospam

Who would have thought some PHP dev[0] ended up with the best spam detection and mitigation system across all fediverse projects.

Like I'm so proud, it works amazingly and has prevented hundreds of thousands spam posts from appearing on feeds across the world!

 Admins: We're about to ship a new Autospam feature to help mitigate spam from remote servers!

You should add the following to your .env so you're ready:

```
PF_AUTOSPAM_LIVE_FILTERS_ENABLED=true
PF_AUTOSPAM_LIVE_FILTERS_CSV="のプロフ 見て"
```

The last .env var is a comma separated list of content you want blocked!

This uses NLP to more intelligently classify potential spam by using data from existing known spam.

Preparing to ship the Autospam Advanced Detection feature in @pixelfed!

This will help instances better detect and mitigate spam, and in an easy way!

No docs or configuration required, you'll be able to enable and manage this from the admin dashboard.
