I'm getting burnt out on all my moderation actions being against fucking AI. Like, I never thought I'd say it, but I miss suspending Nazis and bigotsβat least they were real people who would give up after a whileβthese LLMs just go on and on, and they don't give a shit if they're suspended or rejected.
#FuckLLMs (but also #FuckNazis and #FuckBigots)
It's getting bad. Like 80+% of our instance applications are AI-generated now, and it's a huge waste of time to action them.
There seem to be several different models, and they all use throwaway email providers and VPNs.
We have one model that just "wants community" in a couple sentences, one that is looking for "tech-minded, open source friends", one that just spews word-salad, one that copies and pastes other people's bios, and at least a couple that try various plausible messages.
The better they get, the more resources it takes us to identify and reject them.
They're like fucking fruit flies.
@alice Out of curiosity, is maybe a different approach necessary in this day and age? Maybe a system based upon recommendation: I vouch for somebody else, and the other may so, too. However, if the recommendations of one turn out to be fraudelent and/or spam, the original voucher also becomes discredited.
This way, it becomes a lot harder. The downside: sign-up may become a bit harder, too.
Maybe it's time to gain street credibility, no? 
@raisondetredev that tends to exclude people who aren't already part of the community, and Fedi has an invite system, which a lot of small servers use.
I think invites are a good idea for instances that want to carefully manage their community though.
