Fediverse
This document covers how to block spam using Caterpillar Proxy in web applications using the federation based on the ActivityPub protocol (referred to as Fediverse), such as Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma. #
Spam filtering strategies
- K-Anonymity test - Estimating whether the characters has been arranged by humans. (use Have I Been Pwned)
- Not CAPTCHA - Image spam containing characters that look very similar to CAPTCHA. (use TrueCaptcha)
- VowelRatio10 - In characters arranged by humans, there is a high frequency of vowels (aeiou) and semivowels (wy) and vowel-ending patterns included in strings that are 10 characters.
- Palindrome4 - Detect palindromes composed of 4 or more characters
- KnownWords4 - Detect well-known words composed of 4 or more characters
- SearchEngine3 - In public search engine, the given string yields more than 2 results. (use LibreY)
- RepeatedNumber3 - Detect a repeated numbers 3 times or more.
- SSL decryption (MITM) when relaying to federated servers.
The strategies were implemented to respond to the Fediverse Spam Attacks which started on the 15th of February. # #
