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.

3/4 This is data. The LLM nightmare has made moderation kafkaesque. Fediverse has 10,000 admins and even more moderators who don't talk to each other as a whole being asked to do yet another unpaid task battling something that is built excluslvely to pretend to be human. The turing test is over, it's a coinflip. My pitch is becoming "we" need to build a shared, communal collection of moderation as a service. Example: move piecemeal moderation from instances as we do now and start pools of moderators for a collection of common servers.... (10,000 instance with 1 mod vs 100 mod pools with 100 mods for 100 instances) I think @thisismissem is the only person who is working on a similar direction with actual results with FIRES https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/112299123543592994

@shlee@aus.social I regularly reject user applications on a website and my first rule of banning is does the email look vaguely like the name registered? If not ban. It’s actually a legacy version we are about to take off line that yo replace, but it still attracts spam registrations. Crazy

@shlee@aus.social I use em rules, en rules, and semicolons. Fuck it, I even stoop to using the Oxford comma.
