My favourite is the “European Public Social Network”. I want one generic social network to replace all the proprietary ones, where bots don’t exist because it requires secure identification to log in.
The Fediverse is easily manipulable by bots. Examples:
-
This anti-AI post initially got suppressed by 17 downvotes, hiding it from many people’s feeds.
-
My post about U.S. surveillance-enabled manipulation got 6 downvotes early on. None of the comments addressed the main question in my post. Commenters and downvoters of my comments are complaining about my writing in my second language, accusing me of using AI to write the post, which I didn’t. Even Pangram AI-detector says all of my text is human-written, and finds only two direct quotes from a website AI-generated.
If we allow this to continue, the Fediverse will be fucked.
