So I’ve seen spam posts make it close to the top of the federated TL recently. It got me to look into the modlog and it seems that the vast majority of removed posts are straight up advertising spam, usually multiple per day.

I’ve seen this sort of thing go unchecked and take over Plume and Write.as servers. Does Lemmy have any mechanisms to keep this contained? I know a traditional method is to only allow users to post after they’ve made a few comments first. I could also be overreacting?
