Please stop connecting with #Bots. I am not connecting to new Diaspora connections, since it will be harder to support it in Future versions. Development is out of date if not dead already. You are welcome to use any of the other protocols like #ActivityPub and ZotX ( #Hubzilla , #Streams .... ) to connect to me.

I tried #twitter. Liked how pressing enter breaks the line even right after hashtag. Other than that, didn't really enjoy it. I got 5 followers and I'm highly confident they're all #bots.
I wanted to write "#Mastodon rulez" now, but it just made a dot after a hashtag when I tried to create new paragraph. Very frustrating.

Allein unter dem Reiter "dieser Server", also mastodon.social, habe ich gefühlt inzwischen über 1/3 aller Beiträge automatisiert erstellte Werbe-Toots!
Der #porn stört mich da gar nicht als Europäter *Zwinkersmiley*
Aber die Ads, die Werbung, das billige "Marketing" und die Phishing-Versuche hin zu dubiosen Shops, die stören mich.
Hinzu gesellen sich PR-Bots von "Firmen".
Echte Beiträge von Nutzern sind hier inzwischen in der Unterzahl, denke ich...
τελευταία τεχνικά νέα :
#modoboa 2.2.0 από χθες στο email hosting, με πολλές αλλαγές. σύντομα και send-only emails. δυστυχώς ένα συγκεκριμένο bug που μας ενοχλούσε, παραμένει.
#searx αφαιρέθηκε τελείως. δεν υπήρχε χρόνος για συντήρηση και το debian πακέτο δεν ενημερώνεται όπως θα έπρεπε. και χρήστες είχε κυρίως bots με στοχευμένα queries για χειραγώγηση των πραγματικών μηχανών αναζήτησης. (warez, κα)
#ai #bots + #amazonbot μπλοκαρίστηκαν τελείως από τα web hosting μηχανήματα μας.

thanks god it is #forsakenfacebookfriday
now it appears as if #musk might have thrown a lifeline to #zuckerbergs #threads, by suggesting that everyone should pay for #twitter ...because #bots
now #bots indeed are a problem on "#x" (some day soon 99,9% of interactions will be from #fansonly facades. yet others somehow manage.
So, are you making Mastodon/fediverse bots yet?
I wish there was a way to mute ALL the #automated #BOTs on the #Federated timeline in one go. They're killing the content at the moment, and it is a pain doing them one by one.
I've no objection to them being there for those that need them - but have no interest in minute-by-minute updates on weather and traffic around the world. .
WTF??? Is it National Bizarro Day today????
Them: "Let us know if you need more help."
[I don't need more help, so I say nothing. Then a bot comes along:]
Bot: "We're still waiting for an answer to your ticket."
Me: "Hmm... I don't need more help. (Not sure what to say here.)"
Them: "Glad to know this. Let us know if you need more help."
:catthinking:
Last time I did not respond to this missive, the bot came up asking me to respond.
What am I supposed to do????

@MissingThePt the easiest way to defeat #bots is with a captcha system like #hCapture. It what will be on the contact form of our #wordpress website.

Does anyone know whether this merely replicates their news feed, or whether they do respond to messages from the fediverse:
They do not say.
I'm going to ping them here for good measure @debian
I'm sorry, but I hate the stupid replication bots. My take, as always, is be in the fediverse fully, or begone.
FOSS does not get a pass.

“Graham and FitzGerald identified more than 1,200 X accounts that were spreading the false and disproven claim that Trump won the 2020 election during the debate and interview, as well as a sprawling bot network of 1,305 accounts. Conspiratorial content spread during the debate attracted more than 3m views.”
@stellarator that's beacuse #bots are either tagged as such and/or banned from instances.
The only counterexample is the #bot-only https://bostin.space but those only post, AFAICT they can't even #follow users...

Like binaryedge.ninja. What is the point of poking at my servers insistently? Anyone knows what these are about?

I just saw someone ‘unroll’ a thread for the first time on Mastodon, and I don’t like it 😔
How do other fedifolk feel about bots that scrape fediverse discussions and post them elsewhere?
(I won’t share the name of the bot, as I really don’t want to publicise it)
I just really, really love that there is a bot out there that just serves up screens from Homestar Runner. That's it. I see them blip by on my timeline, and for a second or two I'm whisked away to a simpler time, filled with the fops & follies of thee Brothers Chaps.

For #bots and those operating them, #MachineTime is the cost-creating factor, thus they want to speedrun their shit to maximize #botting effectivity with the least amount of [billable!] computation time [at their hosters!]...
An occasional #FollowFriday reminder that I've made some pretty fun bots that you can follow from anywhere in the fediverse.

Please enjoy!
There's quite a few bots for the open social Web I'd want to make:
* One that quotes Black radical literature and gives links on where to get those books
* One that publishes CC comics with ALT text and sources the creators
* An aggregator of content from labor movements like Workers World, Labor Notes and the like to help syndicate that information into Fedi.
What would you like to see?
While lyrics and quote bots are not typically featured on Botwiki, these are still a fun introduction to the world of botmaking.
And with Pipedream, it’s super easy, with very little "coding" necessary.
Highly recommend following @botwikirandomfediverse and @botwikirandom if you have a bot on Botwiki. Always nice to see it come up!
So much for #CAPTCHA – #bots can do them quicker than humans • #TheRegister
"For distorted text fields, humans took 9-15 seconds with an accuracy of just 50-84 percent. Bots, on the other hand, beat the tests in less than a second with 99.8 percent accuracy."

i am so traumatized from #bots pretending to be #human on twitter that from now on i only want to follow accounts that are run by actual ppl, but idk what to believe now that checkmarks don't mean anything anymore. even on ppl's personal websites, ppl anonymize so much about their online presence now — i'm guessing out of fear of losing their jobs? that or their entire online presence revolves around their work & that's not what i'm looking for
Ist irgendwas im #Internet verhasster als #Captchas? Müssen ja was bringen, denkt man sich, sonst wären wir sie doch längst los. Denkste. #Bots lösen sie schneller und liegen öfter richtig:
Fast immer schneller, immer korrekter: Bots schlagen Menschen bei Captchas
Eigentlich wollte eine Forschungsgruppe ermitteln, wie lange Menschen für Captchas brauchen. Herausgekommen ist, dass Bots damit besser klarkommen.

I'm seeing a bunch of news coverage about OpenAI's "NEW" GPTBot, but @searchenginejournal first covered this back in early February. This is also when I added it and CCBot to the robots.txt file for all my sites.

One of the upcoming changes in the next version of Mastodon is changing the "bot" label to "automated", for "less negative connotation".

@jbwharris @alexwild As to the internet (which includes TCP/IP in LANs, technically speaking), I think the "era of #SelfHosting" is the new direction inevitably showing its value. *If only for sanity*.
Since the #Internet is now dominated by various #bots (incl. hostile opponents from other countries, that hate yours), it makes sense to sometimes retreat within the walls of one's medieval castle - one's LAN - "pulling up the drawbridge" to keep out various "might-makes-right" bad-faith invaders.
Elom hat die #Bots und #Trolle toll im Griff.
Nicht. 🤣
