+.Ss SPAM Mitigation
|
|
|
+There have been some SPAM attacks on the Fediverse and, as too many
|
|
|
+instances and server implementations out there still allow automatic
|
|
|
+account creation, it will only get worse.
|
|
|
+.Nm
|
|
|
+includes some (not very strong) tools for trying to survive the SPAM
|
|
|
+flood that will eventually happen.
|
|
|
+.Pp
|
|
|
+The
|
|
|
+.Ic min_account_age
|
|
|
+field in the main configuration file allows setting a minimum age (in
|
|
|
+seconds) to consider too recently created accounts suspicious of being
|
|
|
+a potential source of SPAM. This is a naïve assumption, because spammers
|
|
|
+can create accounts, let them dormant for a while and then start to use
|
|
|
+them. Also, some ActivityPub implementations don't even bother to return
|
|
|
+a creation date for their accounts, so this is not very useful.
|
|
|
+.Pp
|
|
|
+From version 2.50, post content can be filtered out by regular expressions.
|
|
|
+These weapons of mass destruction can be written into the
|
|
|
+.Ic filter_reject.txt
|
|
|
+file in the server base directory, one per line; if this file exists,
|
|
|
+all posts' content will be matched against these regexes, one by one, and
|
|
|
+any match will make the post to be rejected. If you don't know about regular
|
|
|
+expressions, don't use this option (or learn about them in some tutorial,
|
|
|
+there are gazillions of them out there), as you and your users may start
|
|
|
+missing posts.
