These sexually explicit YouTube bot comments are so out of control that it makes one want to shut off comments or not even comment on anyone's video. It's SO BAD right now.
They're all the same message too, I thought Google was good at detecting spam. -
Spammers are now signing up for free @oktadev tenants, customising the "welcome to okta" email, adding users and using legitimate Okta email servers to send out spam with URLs in it.

Well, I think I've cracked it - after a few weeks of on-and-off work on making my webmention sending not spam everyone (see https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/30/reader-mail-webmention-spam/ ) - it's now not re-sending them if they're successful. This is a good first step, but I'll be improving it to re-send if the post's data has changed since last time it tried (in the future). Note that this isn't quite done yet, expect it to be live tomorrow perhaps.

@aaronpk I don't have a web host per se, just a linode, which doesn't offer that. but I see they offer https://mailinabox.email/ so maybe I'll just try that, though it is overkill
ah yeah. I use DreamHost for my forwarding. I decided to get out of the email deliverability business myself once it started getting too hard to keep up on avoiding getting caught in spam filters. It's just a game I don't want to play anymore, happy to have people with a full time staff deal with that now. -
Blocking Domains in webmention.io
For the past week or so, I've been getting a series of Pingbacks from a spam blog that reposts a blog post a couple times a day as a new post each time. It's up to about 220 copies of the post, each one having sent me a Pingback, and each one showing up in my reader as a notification, which also causes it to be sent to my phone.continue reading... -

A potential manual way: have a !snooze command that blacklists a string for e.g. 24 hours.
!snooze is not a bad idea, that gives people the ability to make the decision about what to filter.
I do have some code that Loqi uses to kick people out of the IRC room when they spam it that might also work here, but I'd be worried about too much false positive filtering. It looks at a normalized version of the text (lowercase, no whitespace or punctuation, minus URLs) and could reject tweets that match an existing one found in the last 24 hours. That would have stopped a bunch of these from coming through. -
Just implemented two more anti-spam techniques.
• if you say more uppercase than lowercase characters other than the URL, and if you joined in the last 5 minutes, then you get kicked
• if you say the same URL 5 times within a minute, you get kicked
These only apply to people who are not +v registered on irc-people -
I like the idea of giving the community the ability to help with this. That also happens to be the easiest thing to implement. Loqi now has a new
!kickcommand.- If you are +v (you're registered on irc-people), you can use the new
!kickcommand - You can say
!kick foobarto kick that person from the room, but only if they joined less than 5 minutes ago
- If you are +v (you're registered on irc-people), you can use the new

what did i do to deserve this kind of spam
