Doesn’t your problem apply to all small social media platforms, not just mastodon?
It’s specifically about federated systems, since those mean the recipient’s server has less information to make a spam decision because it isn’t also the sender’s server.

Sure, and some admins do this. But this doesn’t solve the problem in general because you need to figure out what to do with messages from servers you’ve never heard of.
