That also raises an interesting point, will fediverse projects need to begrudgingly adopt AI to protect their communities, or will they experience mod/admin burnout with manual approval, and how will this impact the fediverse a year from now?

I may have to rewrite my #FediCon talk a bit, because this is not theoretical anymore.

We need to do something about fediverse spam, impersonation and AI agents.

In 1968 Dijkstra declared GOTO statements harmful.

In 2021 someone built them an entire social network anyway.

GotoSocial is a lightweight #ActivityPub server that can run on a potato, blocks scrapers by default, and with privacy defaults that would get a product manager fired at any real company.

Now it's one of the fastest growing on the fediverse.

Built by @nprofile1q... under the name Super Serious Business, which is the most honest branding in tech right now.

The fediverse is comprised of many unique pockets of communities, many inspired by big existing platforms.

When it comes to the fediverse Tumblr, #WAFRN is exactly that, but more.

What sounds like a biological weapon, is actually a clever acronym "We Allow Female Representing Nipples", a direct shot at Tumblr and their misogynistic moderation policies.

Kudos to @gabboman the wafrn dev for freeing the nipple, keep it weird folks, we don't have VCs to appease!

#FreeTheNipple

Sometimes I can't believe I'm 37

Born in 89' and grew up with 14.4k dial up modems, CD-Rs, Limewire, Colombia House, Blockbuster and landline phones.

Now we have it so good, but in some ways, we always did.

Going to Blockbuster to pick a movie on Fridays used to be my thing, and now I can't pick a movie to watch across half a dozen streaming services, there are too many choices, it doesn't mean the same thing.

We used to get charged for not rewinding VHS tapes. Paid 0.25c per text message. 😔
