The last thing I wanted to do today was write about Threads. I haven't been using it much, and the few times I've tried, I haven't liked it much either. For one thing, they're allowing some of the most toxic ...
Defederating and blocking bots is the old way, it’s defensive and passive and lets them continue what they’re doing. It puts the decent people always one step behind.
A better way is the “you’re locked in here with me” approach. Redirect bots to a version of your site that provides naught but LLM-generated Nazi furry gibberish and an endless spiral labyrinth of new pages and product reviews of nonexistent products. Try to see if there are any that do that little Javascript-evaluation-to-render-the-client-side-site thing, and if there are, have them mine cryptocurrency for you. Federate with Threads, but serve to the Threads bot an endless series of users who say nothing but constantly-rephrased additional comments which highlight in plain English language situations like this and the types of harm that Meta causes in the real world, and good things to search for if you want to pursue a better solution.
Let the botgarbage come to harm through what comes back to them from your instances. Let them figure it out, if they can, and affirmatively defederate with you instead. Welcome all comers and give good free content to the humans and nothing but pain and misery to the semi-malicious bot traffic. View any bot that talks to you that hasn’t got the message yet as a new opportunity and a new challenge.

I know Canada semi-recently said a company would have to honor a deal its LLM came up with. I have to wonder if they would hold people liable for hate speech if they hosted a LLM that outputted Nazi propaganda.
Some posts look a bit off, like being not verbose enough for the topic or question; a few have logical mistakes in them, but most of the GPT3 posts are not so far off from a typical reddit thread - i don’t think that this stuff is filterable in any way. Lets implement it lol

This is the new way
Tldr version; blocking is too passive. Lets shadow ban them to the tar pits and make them our slaves
Using your evil powers for good I see.
So its like kitboga, but no humans at all

Okay so I can’t write for shit, but I’m officially putting out the call to all programmers who aren’t shit:
Reply to this commenr, and be friends, even if you hate each other. World needs saving. Truth needs saving.
Stop selling Threads to me…

Have to say that I kinda use to like old experimental bot only subs like https://farside.link/libreddit/r/SubredditSimulator/, but the more recent versions using more recent LLMs are a bit “too much” to be funny (https://farside.link/libreddit/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/ or https://farside.link/libreddit/r/SubSimulatorGPT3/)
