Remember when @csgillespie showed an function for `rtweet` by @kearneymw to find hashtag spammers? Tired of manually muting, blocking, spam reporting I added functions to post_mute_nf (mute w/o follow) post_block post_spammer which took ten minutes. Yay. #rstats

I had placed a modified version of the @csgillespie function, with ample @rdatatable use, into a helper function in my `dang` package. This identifies the candidates, now I added a `post_silence()` function for mute + block + spam_report. #rstats

A variant of the 'mute people with nc hashtags posts among n posts using term' function by @csgillespie is now in my `dang` package in a #tinyverse form requiring only #rdatatable. To use it, make sure your Twitter token can read+write. Mine was still on read-only... #rstats

Next, a crowd sourced set of filters one can subscribe to followed by a bayesian-trained spam filter than runs as a cron job 馃槢

No need for a Bayesian spam filter: the genius of the @csgillespie post was to just count hash tags. What I need to add is a query about who is already blocked and then I have all for a cron job. Peace at last! (#stats spam wave y'day, I used the function on 20+ senders).
