If someone is directly following another actor, then this should be used to determine spammyness.

To do this properly, the plugin will need to query the AP server.

This information may be located in the following collection of the Actor's public identifier, or if the AP server blocks this request, then it may require some form of either authentication or else be queried via an API such as the Mastodon API

This raises an interesting question: What assumptions should we make about the AP Server? Assuming that it implements the ActivityPub protocol is fair and I'd not go below that.

But how will we know for example to use a mastodon API? Via a configuration variable, via testing the receiver server or by developing plugins specifically for Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, etc?
