Protects a channel by removing accounts that post in it

u0/honeypot@1 Message received v1 0

Readme

Install this exact publication into an existing channel reserved as a honeypot. Each user account that posts there is kicked after Macchi attempts to remove that account’s messages from the previous five minutes in the current channel. Server owners, channel managers, bots, and system accounts are ignored. The caught-account counter is stored in shared channel storage.
