  Alright, we’ll write a bot that can accurately moderate arbitrary internet content with an acceptably low rate of false negatives and false positives.

  You first.

    Here’s an idea

    When you read a post you vote it.

    This vote is also sticks to the person who wrote it.

    Whenever he posts, his post automatically get a (weighted) rating based on the history of your votes of his posts.

    Also, any post he votes automatically gets a (weighted) rating, for you, on his recommendation, based on his rating.

    This post voting rating propagates. And of course works for both positive and negative voting.

    Then you filter however.

    Everybody starts at 0. Which is also informative of course.

      That just means that folk from vulnerable minorities each individually have to downvote every new troll account targetting them, until the person just moves on to a new troll account.

      Which in turn is how you end up with communities full of nothing but white, middle class western men who think that trolling each other is a national sport.

        The cracking-resistance of this system is in the voters who are smart enough to vote as they like (flatworms can do it, so can we) and the depth and complexity of an organic voter/votee history, which would be hard to fake or quickly synthesize.

        Of course, yes, the proof requires pudding. A Lemmy fork? Ugh, it’s a lot of work. Maybe a friendly hs teacher can make it the class project.

      Okay, and if a new account posts CSAM, how does that get removed ASAP?

  bots are only “uncorruptible” in so far as they are built “corrupt” at their very conception

    but you can look at the code. That inhibits shenanigans
