I would be interested in people's thoughts here on my solution: https://www.tela.app.

The answer to bot spam: payments, per message.

I will soon be releasing a public forum system based on this model. You have to pay to submit posts.

I see this proposed 5-10 times a year for the last 20 years. There's a reason none of them have come to anything.
