It’ll be interesting to see how Discord enshittifies.
It’s the default destination for the niche-interest “cozy web,” and they could go down several paths.
Seems believable. I’m curious, how do lemmy instances protect themselves from ai slop and bots?
Manual labor, the Communist Party of China pays us to keep Lemmy free of bots and revisionists.

Alt text: You guys get paid?
Apart from not being that interesting for now, the first line of defence for most is manually-approved sign ups, as far as I can tell.
When the Fediverse grows, I think that weeding out accounts that post slop will be the “easy” part; the hardest part will be to identify the silent bot accounts that do nothing but upvote.
I vaguely remember kbin allowing you to see who upvoted a particular post, so it might not be too difficult.
Tough to differentiate bots that only vote from human lurkers who only vote.
manual moderation, and there are some moderation bots that can detect spam.
They don’t, but they are uninteresting for now
