1/4 As a test, I’ve signed up for 5 major “reviewed” mastodon instances.
3 of them denied my account because my pitch was apparently too LLMy (I wrote it in a style) AND/OR it wasn’t from a Gmail or major email provider (which is actually my favourite response from a decentralised network).
We are bad at antispam. We are bad at moderation. Humans are tilting at windmills.

2/4 Yes, I used an em dash because they rule and you can take them from my cold dead keyboard But it was also a test because “if string contains the bad character” is your anti LLM protection, you’ve got bigger problems. edit: My friend at the melbourne arts university is currently spending all of her time auditing students who are using LLM for everything. Education is having the same problems yesterday. Solidarity forever.
