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?
federated filters built by user-submitted signals collected by their clients.
E.g. you add the “SuperBotAway” plugin, you flag bottish activity, your flags are aggregated with other SuperBotAway users and a model is trained, server operators or users may choose to deploy SuperBotAway-CommunityFilteringModel-20251210
But it’s going to be a very hard problem, especially without the global view a centralized operator has, and with the community’s desire not to reveal every poster’s IP address and other meta-data.
IP doesn’t do anything. I use Tor. Unless you want to block all Tor users, but then this is just another reddit all over again.
