  • Keeping bots and AI-generated content off Lemmy (an open-source, federated social media platform) can be a challenge, but here are some effective strategies:

    1. Enable CAPTCHA Verification: Require users to solve CAPTCHAs during account creation and posting. This helps filter out basic bots.
    2. User Verification: Consider account age or karma-based posting restrictions. New users could be limited until they engage authentically.
    3. Moderation Tools: Use Lemmy’s moderation features to block and report suspicious users. Regularly update blocklists.
    4. Rate Limiting & Throttling: Limit post and comment frequency for new or unverified users. This makes spammy behavior harder.
    5. AI Detection Tools: Implement tools that analyze post content for AI-generated patterns. Some models can flag or reject obvious bot posts.
    6. Community Guidelines & Reporting: Establish clear rules against AI spam and encourage users to report suspicious content.
    7. Manual Approvals: For smaller communities, manually approving new members or first posts can be effective.
    8. Federation Controls: Choose which instances to federate with. Blocking or limiting interactions with known spammy instances helps.
    9. Machine Learning Models: Deploy spam-detection models that can analyze behavior and content patterns over time.
    10. Regular Audits: Periodically review community activity for trends and emerging threats.

    Do you run a Lemmy instance, or are you just looking to keep your community clean from AI-generated spam?
