It’s complaining about bots on Reddit. I honestly don’t think Lemmy would stand a chance if bots decided to come here instead.
Already here. If regular users see this place being mentioned somewhere, so do the scammers and bots.
Piefed is actively working on tools and mod detection to target this lol
We just need a web of trust where humans tag other known humans and follow other accounts. Every post could be labeled with a tag that shows how many degrees of separation you are from an account that's tagged the poster as a known human. Then the tech can evolve with a ranked trust hierarchy where you can follow someone but not accept their "known human tags" if they're a foolish friend that accepts AI selfies as proof of humanity.
Webrings/WoT is back! The crab/train of the internet is still the solution everyone falls back to.
damn this is some rare nostalgia.
Wasn't it what blogs were all about and... still are? ;)
I haven't seen any system like that for blogs (or anywhere yet)
I was referring to the 'trust' and to the 'following' parts, using RSS feeds and blogrolls/curated recommendations as, back then, those could be very impactful to the visibility & popularity of any blog depending which... human being... made the recommendation. Meaning algorithms & bots were and, for the most part, would still be that useless crap they should have remained ;)
Probably a path we'll have to go down the line.
This is a great idea.
