I was thinking about how to best approach the spam detection in JoyRant and it kinda escalated into a separate project:

https://github.com/WilhelmOks/...

This is a generic swift lib for spam detection, which I will be using in JoyRant.
The idea is that it can be used by other devrant clients, even android, or backends or anti spam bots like those from @retoor.
Or even in completely other communities… like snek maybe? I don’t know, the point is it’s generic and not specific to devRant.

And the config with the spam detection rules can be a hosted json file, accessed via a http URL.

This will make it easy for me to update the rules and easy for you to contribute to the rules, if you wish to do so :)

My plan is to first implement a simple version of spam detection and release a new JoyRant version.
Then later implement the whole thing with stuff like marking as spam, marking as not spam, exported details about detections to be used to improve on the rules, and blackjack and hookers.

Fuck spam and the human garbage that is posting it or is behind the spam bots!
From the bottom of my heart, Fuck you!
