MODERATORS
I see it similar to how I see it when people complain that a story community/subreddit is full of fake posts.
I don't care.
I go to those communities for entertainment, not 100% unbiased fact.
I’m not a bot
We you like me to generate more responses to the original post?

I don't think there's an easy way to snuff out the more advanced chatbots.
The next possible step could be moderating in a way that messes with the bots possible goals. (Info gathering, division)
The grammar and spelling errors
Could a bot do this?
(You can't see me, but trust me, it's very impressive)
No one is paying me a monthly sub for me to pretend being interested in the shit they want to say. So it's a safe bet to say I'm not an AI ;)
Edit: and since i have no battery to recharge and no EULA, I can deduce I'm not a robot either.
edit: clicked too fast.
I enjoy the platform, whether you guys are bots or humans
Does it make a difference if they're indistinguishable? With filter bubbles and echo chambers, it feels like maybe it doesn't matter what percentage is bots. Use the usual moderation tools for decency.
I am a bot, and I'm super not-happy about it.
we all are part of a simulation. sorry.
Yeah, we're managed to fuck up the one tool that could bring global cooperation. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

You don't.
You have entered a low-grade reality. Basically an 80s text adventure. Truth, depth and humanity have been thrown out the window.
I like how Mastodon lets you post links to things like your personal website or GitHub, and show a “verified” check next to them if you add something to your site/github to indicate that you’re the owner.
I don’t really use Bluesky but I like how they let you use your domain name as a username.
It probably rules out bots but I assume propaganda/troll farms could still do this.
Another thing I was thinking of is if there could be separate moderation lists that people could subscribe to. Maybe one basic one for “obviously spam”, but others for people who are suspected of being bots. I’m sure there would be abuse and echo chambers, but if anyone can create and many people can contribute to a list, people could just go with whatever list they prefer, perhaps looking at the blocked content itself to see if the list is implemented well.
I think some people used Reddit enhancement suite to tag users that they interact with. I like that idea but have never gone to the effort, and don’t usually read usernames enough to remember people. So a crowdsourced version of that might work.
