Bots here are useless. There's no money to gain.
But say the fediverse grew to millions or even billions, honestly there's not much that can be done. Telling LLM apart from humans is very difficult nowadays and will be probably impossible in the future. The fediverse would face the same issue as reddit. The only difference is that there could be a different way to sign up and get verified.
we could just implement like, Anubis checksum per post. it would cost those llm people hundreds if not thousands.
How would that work for apps using the API?
checksum api that allows the apps to run the checksums ? idk I'm just trying to think of ways to prevent bots if it came to it
