It’s complaining about bots on Reddit. I honestly don’t think Lemmy would stand a chance if bots decided to come here instead.

    We just need a web of trust where humans tag other known humans and follow other accounts. Every post could be labeled with a tag that shows how many degrees of separation you are from an account that's tagged the poster as a known human. Then the tech can evolve with a ranked trust hierarchy where you can follow someone but not accept their "known human tags" if they're a foolish friend that accepts AI selfies as proof of humanity.

    Wasn't it what blogs were all about and... still are? ;)

    I haven't seen any system like that for blogs (or anywhere yet)

    I was referring to the 'trust' and to the 'following' parts, using RSS feeds and blogrolls/curated recommendations as, back then, those could be very impactful to the visibility & popularity of any blog depending which... human being... made the recommendation. Meaning algorithms & bots were and, for the most part, would still be that useless crap they should have remained ;)
