Spam from unmoderated communities/magazines (feddit.ch)

Both [email protected] and [email protected] are being spammed constantly with opioid ads and other non-sense.

It's quite annoying if you want to use the all-feed. I've blocked at least 6 spam accounts just today.

Just wanted to bring that to your attention. Thanks.

Yeah the more I learn about the tech and design around these systems the more I question the philosophy and logic of the whole setup.

The massive vulnerabilities from cached and redistributed (federated) CSAM content, the inability to operate at scale due to various attacks from malicious actors, the lack of moderation tools to deal with the aforementioned issues. It's just a pile of problems that other systems have literally already solved.

We should go back to forums. This format is overrated, we're only clinging to it because we've been addicted to reddit for a decade and we can't fathom going back to something as regressive as forums, even if they are logically the better solution for a majority of instances.
