Slop coded fediverse servers are multiplying I guess we need to start tracking this somewhere!? What happens when there are more AI generated server frameworks then human written ones? The do-ocracy of implementation first protocol inconsistency sorta wins right now but that brakes down when there are more bots making the call then humans
@liaizon I think these are good concerns but I am concerned about the idea of “tracking”. right now my perception of the fediverse is that it has become by far the most overtly hostile social network I’ve been on with wrath regularly directed at “those who don’t conform” even if they diverge in trivial ways. and I am not the only one with a stake in this saying this! more of that made easier to direct is not going to benefit the fediverse in the long term.
@toddsundsted by tracking I mean a list on a website that publishes which pieces of fediverse software are not being designed by humans. Your worried about *this*?

@liaizon i perhaps don't understand the scope of what's being proposed. i assumed you meant a central website/repository for where these pieces of fediverse software would be listed, presumably not on on opt-in basis vs. something like the existing FEDIVERSE.md file that authors can choose to publish to self-track.

i have no problem at all with the latter. i think the former (the centralized site) has all sorts of problems, starting with the question of who gets to decide what goes on that list. opt-in is fine. opt-out (or no say in the matter at all) does not seem right to me for all the reasons that we don't like it when others do that to us!
