One way of approaching this would be to constantly monitor a metric like frequency of posting. I think that we can safely assume that anything above 1 note per second is definitely a bot and be hidden by default on the client side.

That being said, not all bots are evil. So it would be optimal to also have on the client side a section to review these bots and whitelist them individually.

I know this doesn't fix the problem entirely and the UX is kinda tedious but it would be a lot better than viewing all that spam and users are already fighting them with reports.

Tbh amethyst's censorship wasn't that bad except for the fact that it centuries people I actually followed/wanted to follow too 🤷🏽

If there simply was a menu somewhere where I could whitelist those I wanted and forget the rest of be happy with amethyst or onyx🤷🏽 they're so fast with implementing new things and cool fun features anyway.

There a balance between censorship and freedom to see who and what I want. And with freedom does come the idea that you're going to see the things sometimes and have to get your hands dirty doing done of your own blocking or your own whitelisting and tinkering to make your feed how you want it🤷🏽 it's an ever evolving system which we should have our own control over.

Be your own algorithm 🤷🏽
