Nah .ml dying is great for the fediverse. Actually the denizens of .ml dying irl would be great for the world too

You’re wrong and don’t have the technical knowledge to understand why and I can’t be asked explaining it.

Relax, it won’t affect that case.

Thanks. Yeah that was odd

I’m currently on holidays but that sounds great when I return. I might even get started early. Can you pm the details?

The odds of someone coming up with the same sentence as an llm within common sense bounds of time far exceed winning the lottery or getting struck by lightning.

Your second point is straight up nonsense. This platform is for humans to interact. The use of bots is inherently deceptive.

Fascinating to have someone argue for them. I think the backend logs will be pretty illuminating.

He didn’t seem very sincere tbh. Odd

Awesome 👍 I’m more c#/Java, angular if there’s anything I can contribute.

Thanks but not sure what’s currently implemented or even what the code base is written in 😅.

I might have a poke around and see if there’s any low hanging fruit.

Call me crazy but with a 5b ipo about to start I’d be shocked if reddit wasn’t paying some troll farms to brigade the fediverse and it’d be a shame if spez wins

If I was designing an anti troll/bot system I’d implement a few things. Let’s call any bad actor on here a bot/troll or broll for ease.

1. Reputation based posting isn’t a bad idea if carefully done
2. When a broll is banned any users from the same ip are flagged a suspect and a subsequent ban causes delayed posting from that ip. If a VPN the instance host list has the same effect applied. Exceptions based on Reputation.
3. You can check if text is ai/llm generated and an automated api check before posting and immediate ban if found.
4. Checks on if a user posts inhumanly fast or is oddly active etc would be sensible.
5. Any broll system has to be adaptive and measures taken need to be kept secret (this post for example).

It’s interesting right?

I’m thinking the architecture of the fediverse makes it particularly vulnerable to these sorts of attacks.

I’m pretty sure I’ve spotted bots circle jerking on some subjects also which makes me think there’s a few different sources.

You’re not imagining it. I’m pretty sure you can see regular work from propaganda teams on lemmy. I’d love to see the backed logs to confirm it.

They tend to work in very hostile teams to brigade topics.
