I trust instance owners to sort this out - until I don’t. I don’t support violations of privacy and I appreciate some level of pseudonymity and anonymity in social media.
I am also trusting instance owners and software developers to implement an open source automated bot detection and filtering algorithm. I think forcing users to manually wade through and filter out threat actors we can identify with 99% certainty is nothing but a waste of their valuable time and disruption of the community and conversation we support and enable here, especially when false positives are easily rectifiable.
I just don’t think it’ll ever be anything close to 99% effective given that this is a website. I explained why previously.
Thanks for engaging though - I do understand and appreciate the necessity of bot prevention and I’ll be sure to keep an eye out as a user. As another user suggested to me, there could be government-run social media that requires ID at sign-up.
Maybe a service like that would appeal to you if our government (apologies if you aren’t US-based) wasn’t labeling certain speech as terrorism.
