7 deadly Sins? 7 deadly Sinners?

I think we are in a transition phase right now, after some time this kind of “bitching about reddit / twitter whatever” trend will cool down.

But is this not an evil move to do that? force responsibility on others?

The registration process for an account is annoying: Having to look into email and having to explain how you are not a bot … I guess? Also I can not imagine this scale well, if every registration request is checked by a human. Is there no better solution?

there are multiple ways evil can behave on lemmy:

trolling

• trolling, it is annoying, if 25% of all posts are troll posts, the site can be annoying to use.
  • content voting systems can mitigate this tho, but bots will eventually find a way to game this?
• the difference between trolling and spamming (imo): trolls type in their message with a physical keyboard. Spammers use bots to automate trolling

(Bot) Spamming / automated troll farms

• spamming, creates huge load on storage capacity of the server owner, not good if you host for free
  • spam can be hard to detect in the age of chatgpt LLMs in general, because normal spam would be detected by how random it is. for example

adfjakjdfkl would be easily detected as spam

• spamming huge amounts of text is still better than spammers creating huge amounts of video and photographs
• proof of work algorithms can mitigate this issue somewhat, tho this also makes performance worse for everyone

any other thoughts on proof of work, or how evil doers can behave on social media sides?
