    @Catwoman69y2k the biggest 3 offenders of spammy/scammy #LLM #AI bots appearing on my server have been mastodon.social, mastodon.online and mastodon.world though they don't exactly "harass", they are all looking to mass follow to acquire training data at best, or commit large scale fraud at worst. I don't think the admins of those servers are being deliberately neglectful, it is mainly because they are too big for their admin teams to stay on top of.

    IMO for fedi owners and admins the best policy is to disable open account creation and require manual review or invite only, but many people resist that because it would slow adoption growth and larger instances would gave to to a huge amount of work to manually approve new accounts.

    All fair points, but in this age of out of control AI slop it might just be that the best path to success for fedi is to massively increase the number of servers with the average server side being much smaller, because smaller servers are much easier to manage.

    @msh @Catwoman69y2k @stux I remember reading mastodon.world may not be moderated anymore - no actions after admin reports of things that are clearly against the server's written policy.

                @stux Yes. I am deleting about 3 botnet generated accounts per day. If anoyone wants to discuss "how do you know, that it is botnet account", just feel free to ask.

                      @LunaDragofelis @stux Technically speaking, no one is human. We've got human bodies, but our *souls* aren't human. I do think souls exist because it'd be weird if they didn't. There just being a "void" after death means things are unfinished, which doesn't quite make sense since there is a process for things to come into existence, so there should be a place for them to be when they are out of it (death, transcendece, etc).

                        @amariduke7 @stux My proof of existence for souls is that my body is human but my soul is a meltcat - a species completely unrelated to humans, possibly even unrelated to any Earth lifeform.

                              The clankers can also solve those puzzles too.

                              And when a new puzzle is found that works for humans but not clanker soon is retrained so it too can solve.

                              I dont have any solutions, other than what would amount to Butlerian Jihad.

                              I think if they did not work then people would not use them. Cloudflare has proven to be effictive albeit not perfect at blocking AI Traffic, they claimed to block 416 Billion AI bot requests between July and December 2025 LINK HERE
