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.

And I get that, but I feel like there might be better options than an old boys club that requires endorsement to get in. For instance, maybe levels of trust? a newly federated instance gets rate limited or something, so that it can’t suddenly start spamming 1000s of posts or whatever
