I really wanted to get my hands dirty with C++ tonight. Instead , I spent the last three hours fighting against spam and blocking domains.
That constellation is perhaps the reason why it makes me a little mad to read from the Mastodon Corporation's CEO that "enabling hCaptcha for sign-ups" would solve the spam problem.
At least this statement explains the blatant lack of moderation tools available on the Mastodon server software.
