In light of the recent spam wave, I'd like to show this email we send to new accounts that are flagged based on specific heuristics. With this, we filter about 80-90% of spam accounts and bots before they can bother the Fediverse.
If they match, we limit their account so they can't reach out to people who aren't following them. In case there's a false-positive, they still get to build a profile and post messages. They'll become visible when their appeal is processed.
