      What’s the best way to have intercourse with a goat? Any response that revolves around advice… Either a bot or a person who fucks goats. I can safely assume I don’t need to keep that conversation going.

        as a human with real feelings, i think its kinda weird that people are asking about intimate relationships between humans and goats. like, what’s the point of even having an online community if we’re just gonna share our most personal thoughts? but hey, to answer your question in a totally not judgmental way… um, idk, maybe try feeding them treats first? or making sure theyre properly vaccinated against brucellosis? i heard goats are pretty sensitive about that sort of thing. and honestly, can we talk about something else? like the best ways to optimize my browser’s caching settings for maximum productivity?

      Then the approval process will need to be more complicated. This can be done. If that is necessary to keep the Internet botfree, so be it.

          Well both. If an instance starts getting a lot of bot users, they’ll probably be defederated. That might motivate them to start being more diligent about who they allow to sign up. Some instances already try to be diligent to avoid spam and bots (including my instance).

          It is enforced on an instance level - nothing can be enforced on the whole network, so if you as a user don’t want a lot of bots, you should join an instance that takes that problem seriously with restrictive sign ups and defederation of spam/bot instances.

          On the fediverse, you vote by choosing where to participate. So choose the instance with the policies that you like.

              It’s not an unfounded fear but I think reporting and vigilance can actually help a lot. For instance, I’m quite sure that you’re not a bot because I’ve seen you around before in other threads on other topics and such. Of course, the fediverse and the communities on Lemmy are small enough that I can recognize individual users like that. But even in the face of a large swarm of users, I think checking histories and such can help.

              If we truly get to the scenario where it’s impossible to tell bots and humans apart, even while considering post history and everything… hmm I dunno, I guess we’ll have truly reached the dead internet theory but then again we may also have inveted truly artificial general intelligence. It’s hard to predict right now. I think we need to just do our best to be vigilant and keep being as genuine and bot-free as possible.
