Anti-spam tools for other messaging systems are far behind, proprietary, or non-existent. bugzilla.kernel.org has been hit hard lately and I see plenty of bug-tracker-to-mail spam as a result from projects that use web-based bug trackers. And email spam filtering isn't even that great (and I think it needs to be better for IPv6 and .onion adoption since much of it is still IPv4-oriented blacklisting). I guess a blockchain (*coin) implementation might work (like hashcash is used for email anti-spam), but the ones I've glanced at all look like a bigger waste of electricity than email filters. Of course, centralized systems are unacceptable to me; and with that I'll never claim any network service I run will be reliable :) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
