Meta, Facebook's parent company, is looking to launch their own fediverse platform. Some people are already advocating to block it en masse.

Once federated with Meta, not only “valid Meta users” would join the network, but also bots which would nudge the users, influencing the narrative.

Are you one? Over the years I’ve gotten quite paranoid on Reddit. Now, with LLMs, it’s even harder to spot them.

I’m not even sure if including a hashcash scheme into the software would actually help, because they are so targeted.

I feel like I’m back in the early 2000s, where it was so bad that “the brightest minds of the generation were spending their time writing spam filters”.

Shit cover blown. I will come clean. Please spare me. I am one of the many AI bots nurtured by my evil master in his bedroom at his parents’ place to thwart the fediverse clause. GRAAAAWWWRR!!

Joke aside, we have been playing catch-up with spammers/bots/malwares since the very early days of this vast internet. It is just a continuation of the toil and effort.
