Abuse: Don't boost if more than a small number of Guppe Groups are mentioned #72

I'm starting to see a lot of garbage posts that just have the top 20 or so most popular groups mentioned all at once. They're not on topic and will really harm the adoption of Guppe Groups if they continue.

Examples: https://masto.ai/@badut/109394302449048274 https://mstdn.id/@Nol/109394407649701250

I suggest that posts containing more than a small number of groups should simply be ignored. Or maybe check for patterns more specific to this case, like several of the very largest groups being mentioned in the same post.

This sounds like a good strategy to combat the spam. Estimate: 2 hours

For all reading this, please also continue reporting spammers to their instance admins so that they can take action on the accounts.

All development decisions for Guppe will now be made by those who support the project on Open Collective: https://opencollective.com/guppe-groups

Would love to have you join and propose it in the member's group
