It’s fairly easy for a bot to post at random times. However it’s possible to create a bot to check for bot behavior.
I made a few tests with bot moderation and quickly reached Lemmy.world instance limits (because the bot needs to read the posts consecutively and also get the user’s public data).
When the account reaches the limit, it can’t log in for a period. I don’t want my account to be banned, so I will not continue trying to create moderation bots for Lemmy instances.
Yes, agreed. But the spam bot could just add random alt text or post descriptions. Checking if the text makes sense involves using an LLM with vision capability ($).
This is a comic in technical terms, but also political propaganda. I am not sure this type of content belongs in this community, regardless of which “side” the comic defends or attacks.
I spent two full minutes trying to understand why people were interpreting this comic strip as something related to gender identity.
It’s my fault. I slightly broke one of the community rules that stipulates stories must be complete. I thought this segment of the comic told a complete story on its own, but the lack of context led to this misunderstanding, and I apologize for that.
Indeed, the story continues, and I was hoping that some people would visit the author’s website to read the entire arc of this story. To clarify once and for all, and already giving a spoiler, the blonde woman who appears in the story is the CEO of the company, and for that reason she did not appear in the listing of regular employees.
Hi @MrKaplan. I will continue my efforts to improve my moderation bot by following all your recommendations, such as implementing persistent sessions and creating a different account for the bot, also adhering to the bot rules of the instance. Additionally, I will slow down consecutive calls to the API. Let’s see how it goes. Thank you.
