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.

I get what he’s saying, and I agree. Content creation should only be deemed as content creation if it is created by the creator. Social media has redefined “content creator” as “account who generates interactions”.

It’s all fake. Social media is all just to keep your eyeballs screwed into a screen as to make someone somewhere money. Shit, I’m only on Lemmy because I’m bored at work. Get outside. Be ok with not having followers. Make things for SOMEONE and not for EVERYONE. Death is the only thing with a 100% success rate, and the only thing that truly matters is how we make others feel.

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?

You’re being a jerk.

I can call myself dumb. When someone else does it and confirms it, it fucking sucks. I’m already having a hard time convincing myself not to shoot myself in the head.

No one hates me like me. I don’t need your help.

I’m Chidi Anagonye, or maybe I’m not?

I can agree to that.

I’ve never really needed credit or credit cards? I just pay cash.

I know. That’s why I said I’m stupid. I’m beating myself up enough. I know I’m fucking stupid and don’t deserve what I have. I don’t need some internet jerk to tell me how fucking stupid I am so they can feel good about themselves. Thanks, though.
