I'm a piece of shit. I get it.

I certainly understand that and appreciate that. I might be an idiot, but I'm not stupid.

Hate it? Yes. Respect people who use it? No.

Keeping bots and AI-generated content off Lemmy (an open-source, federated social media platform) can be a challenge, but here are some effective strategies:

1. Enable CAPTCHA Verification: Require users to solve CAPTCHAs during account creation and posting. This helps filter out basic bots.

2. User Verification: Consider account age or karma-based posting restrictions. New users could be limited until they engage authentically.

3. Moderation Tools: Use Lemmy’s moderation features to block and report suspicious users. Regularly update blocklists.

4. Rate Limiting & Throttling: Limit post and comment frequency for new or unverified users. This makes spammy behavior harder.

5. AI Detection Tools: Implement tools that analyze post content for AI-generated patterns. Some models can flag or reject obvious bot posts.

6. Community Guidelines & Reporting: Establish clear rules against AI spam and encourage users to report suspicious content.

7. Manual Approvals: For smaller communities, manually approving new members or first posts can be effective.

8. Federation Controls: Choose which instances to federate with. Blocking or limiting interactions with known spammy instances helps.

9. Machine Learning Models: Deploy spam-detection models that can analyze behavior and content patterns over time.

10. Regular Audits: Periodically review community activity for trends and emerging threats.

Do you run a Lemmy instance, or are you just looking to keep your community clean from AI-generated spam?

Because it matters

No. I specifically said what I did was stupid and asked you NOT to be a jerk.

Will do, thanks.

It's down 27 points now and likely to go down a bit more. It's not not BAD though.

I was worried it would tank though.

Experian says 795 now. I'll be ok. I have no purchases coming up, so I'll just wait it out.

I edited it. Thank for the tip.

Ok?
