Maybe I’ll work on this. I’m trying to get more involved in lemmy-adjacent dev work, so this might be a fun project.
Well, I dug around and built a pretty simple webassembly GUI for lemmy just now-
It would appear, the API is actually missing easy ways to just… query users, and actions. However, skipping past the lemmy api and going directly to the database, is easy enough.
And, from there, its pretty easy to run each user’s post history through say, a piece of ML, which detects the potential for spam, and reports on the highest risk users.
