    I guess at some point we’re going to need an RBL-style blacklist system like they use for email to block spamming mailservers.

        Reputation Block Lists are lists used by many email server admins to reject incoming email from servers that have been caught spamming/scamming/phishing etc.

        A similar system will probably be necessary for Lemmy at some point to block incoming posts from other dodgy Lemmy instances in realtime. The good thing about the system is that evidence must be provided to block a server and admins of the blocked server can request an unblock if they can show that they have fixed/removed the source of the abuse of their server.
