One of the ways @pixelfed prevents spam is by checking email address domains against a list of banned domains.

I'm not aware of any other fediverse project that is doing this, or other more advanced methods of spam mitigation.

Maybe we can inspire them, spam is becoming a problem across the fediverse!

@dansup @pixelfed Why static methods? and can't the list be moved into a separate file?

@dansup @pixelfed I feel like I need to preemptively thank you for not adding Protonmail or Tutanota to that list just because they are "private." Seen some other services do that, and claim it's because of them being privacy-focused, which seems to be a terrible conclusion to draw...
