I have read a few people mention it being an issue on here, but now I am starting to see it myself, blatant bots posting really crappy AI images. I do not want this to turn into Facebook with shrimp Jesus, so I’m just wondering what can be done to prevent bots from polluting the airwaves here. Any ideas, or work being done on this front?

    There’s nothing that can be done to stop it, but you can downvote or block things to try to reduce their reach.

      That’s not true at all. You can definitely do something:

      • Make a sign up process that filters out most low effort bots (e.g. applications, invite trees)
      • Get more moderators to catch the bots earlier. In a similar vein, encourage users to report bots.
      • Defederate from instances that don’t have similar measures, i.e. that don’t take bot prevention seriously.

      Don’t forget to report, if you have good reason to believe you’re seeing a bot that is not properly marked as such.
