    Really depends on whose butthole…

    I saw that one and blocked the account. I wonder if it’s possible to use checksums to shadow-ban accounts trying to post designated spam

      The problem with hash or checksum based checks is that if one bit changes the output will be the same to us, but a completely different hash or checksum.
