@dansup @pixelfed I can only imagine the pure nightmare of detecting, and keeping track, of who's spam and who's not.

On that other Meta owned site it was, apart from the endless ads, a big factor in me leaving it. Spam spam and more spam relentlessly.

I believe anything yourself or the Fediverse can do to increase the battle is great.

It's tricky. But I guess an appeal system for presumed spam account deletion would be good. Also helps if people put face photos and good, relevant wording on profiles. Though that's a privacy concern for many nowadays due to the advance of AI and photo manipulation techniques
