#CoSocialCa the trust and safety team is hard at work suspending and blocking spammers. Please make sure to report spammy accounts so we can reduce their impact.
are they getting through captchas?
@grin I'm not sure what you mean.

There are a bunch of accounts on mastodon.social that are sending spammy Blockchain DMs to people around the fediverse, including on my home instance at #CoSocialCa.

We don't impose a captcha on remote DMs. It would be interesting to design a mechanism for that, though.
I thought you're talking about local spammers.

But now that you mention, would there be a mechanism to hook into incoming and trigger a permban on accounts?
@grin just a bayesian filter would catch these ones pretty easily.
@grin
provided there is a point to hook it into.
