dead end. human verification just leads to a digital prison of ids
the real issue isn't bots, it's humans using ai. i'm doing it right now. English isn't my first language so i used an llm to translate my thoughts for this post. if the tech is this useful for bridging gaps, you can't really filter for a "soul" anymore. the line is already gone.
scraping is a lost cause too. if a human can read it, a model can ingest it
i guess the only fix is to stop scaling. go back to small, private, invite-only groups. intentional friction and making things "inconvenient" is the only filter left that actually works
exactly. the difference is intent. i’m just using it for the translation, but the "what" and "why" are coming from me. slop happens when you let the ai do the thinking too
One thing that helped older communities was friction — things like slower posting, reputation built over time, and real participation history. When identity grows from consistent behavior instead of instant access, it is much harder for bots to blend in. Communities used to value that patience a lot more.
wearables. u need to authenticate a literal pulse. essentially a passkey for being alive. we can’t allow a corporate entity control, it needs to be truly open and not like fido.

Interesting, your comment doesn’t read like AI slop.

I think it's important to focus on the local geographically close group of people that we have relationships first.
I think you're right, but I've been pretty isolated from local people since I moved to a new city
Time to get back out there and meet people I guess
