This is my current attempt at preparing to counter the spam waves that will be appearing as the fediverse becomes more and more popular.

It involves the creation of whitelists based on a chain of trust between instances with easy ways to add and remove into it with few overheads.

Let me know what you think and if you're interested, please do register your instance at https://overctrl.dbzer0.com.

Yes. I already have to pay for a VPS, for a domain...nothing wrong with paying for an SSL cert. At least I can pick my vendor.

    I'm not sure how'd you accomplish this without requiring an EV cert, which is expensive and time-consuming to get, right? I guess manually maintaining a list of free CAs like Let's Encrypt? Idk, I'd never pay for a cert I'd have to manually update where my LE certs are all automatic.
