I think the comment memes usually fall short of the 42 cutoff. Some copypasta probably needs more sophisticated filtering.

I did eventually have to build a process to function as an 'allowlist' for legitimate strings that would otherwise have all the characteristics of spam.

A 42 character min will filter those out, no?

A few years.

Like others have said, the 42 character limit is a bit of a sweet spot that I've found where basically everything is spam.

I do take a look at strings under 42 characters but have to take a bit of a manual approach there as natural repeated strings start breaking through.
