Yeah I dont mind seeing a butthole but there are bots posting gore and its not fun. I've reported it where I've seen it. They all seem to mention soyjak . party (I dont want to actually link it)

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.
