Kudos to @sam for quickly building an anti-spam tool to help us get this spam wave under control. 😘

He did what the Mastodon Corporation, which receives tens of thousands of dollars in donations, did not manage/want to build in years.

@yeti Given the meaning: "Historically, citadels were also used for the control and defense of a city's inhabitants during attacks or sieges." I find that name very fitting.

@rogersm AFAIK Nova Spec is based on dpANS2 (draft preview 2 of the ANSI standard), which is public domain.

I'm probably the last person on earth who has discovered that there is a searchable and nicely rendered version of the Common Lisp HyperSpec, called Nova Spec:

A pleasant surprise.

Hmm.. just contemplating.. how does a Mastodon™ API-compatible server, that runs on SQLite, offers full-text search w/o Elasticsearch, is a single binary, handles 20+ times the traffic on the same machine, fully migrates existing Postgres databases and supports multi-instance hosting, sound to you operators? 🤔

I'm sure that must already exist somewhere? 🍿 I'm sure ...
