It’s fairly easy for a bot to post at random times. However it’s possible to create a bot to check for bot behavior.
I made a few tests with bot moderation and quickly reached Lemmy.world instance limits (because the bot needs to read the posts consecutively and also get the user’s public data).
When the account reaches the limit, it can’t log in for a period. I don’t want my account to be banned, so I will not continue trying to create moderation bots for Lemmy instances.
Yes, agreed. But the spam bot could just add random alt text or post descriptions. Checking if the text makes sense involves using an LLM with vision capability ($).
This is a nice idea.
I am pinning this post because I think it is a global Lemmy problem, and debating this issue is necessary to find ways to decrease this type of spam.
Personally, I am reluctant to implement solutions like ‘account age verification’ or ‘maximum daily posts’ because this also affects legitimate users. However, we may need to do this if we do not find better solutions.
Thanks for the report. Post removed.
I would have just moderated this as ‘not polite’, but the comment was so strange that the admin banned the guy.
Not really AI translation…
I can’t say if the author used any translation tool, but it definitely wasn’t an LLM. This particular comic strip was published well before ChatGPT was released.
The English version of that comic strip is published on the author’s domain (https://english.umsabadoqualquer.com/). He chose to place the comics written in English within his own subdomain.
Rolling releases for life.
I also don’t have any ties to a specific editor. I use whichever is most convenient at the moment. But I avoid paid IDEs.
full of bots
Thank you for finding it. I will leave his IG here and in description, since my original post was just a copy, unfortunately.
I am starting to think this is AI, but I am not sure. The irony.
Sorry, I didn’t know there was a context.
The correct way is to lie on your side, facing left. Because prevents gastric acid in esophagus.
edit for clarification: This method is efficient primarily when the lower esophageal sphincter (I had to Google the correct name) is not functioning as intended.
Hi @MrKaplan. I will continue my efforts to improve my moderation bot by following all your recommendations, such as implementing persistent sessions and creating a different account for the bot, also adhering to the bot rules of the instance. Additionally, I will slow down consecutive calls to the API. Let’s see how it goes. Thank you.
