My understanding of federation is that it’s like email. If one server is misbehaving, then they get defederated.

So how come email spam still exists - why don’t spammer domains get defederated? It seems like we’ve got the worst of both worlds, where it’s hard to get your emails relayed when you run a small email server, and easy to get them relayed if you’re a spammer.

Is there anything about Lemmy’s architecture that will prevent this problem?

    I know the best way to prevent spam. Well, specifically I know someone who does. He happens to be the leading expert in spam mitigation. In fact, he’s so good, he was arrested for it, and his history purged from the net. I would give you a name, but that would only make his treatment in prison even worse.

    Thankfully, I have a few connections that I can use to free him. He’s currently being held in a remote Russian prison, but the guards are corrupt. For a mere $10k USD or so, I can free him. Please direct donations to Bitcoin address xjejksoej28sj77.
