calling other users bots is dehumanizing

your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith

I have too big a mouth to let injustice happen in front of me or to me and not tell someone they fucked up

your philosophy of Anarchy… seems to be very rule heavy.

rules without rulers.

i don’t tell you what to do. please extend the same courtesy.

maybe dm’s are better than quick banning, but my banning preference is for shoot-first-ask-questions-later, but short bans. a 1 to 3 day ban is better in most circumstances for most offenses. even repeated bad behavior, i feel should see the same term unless the bans themselves become burdensome to the mods.

i can see the case for dm’s for suspected bots though.

this account is 8 days old. i’ve been around the fediverse since 2015, and on lemmy with gusto since 2023.

most are unlikely to come back

ok. well you’re saying you’d rather preserve interactions from someone you suspect of being a bot, but bot interactions themselves are bad? the experience is the same. but from a user persectiveo having my comment responded to by other users in public saying “you’re just a bot” “you’re a shill” “ignore previous instructions…” etc… that shit is toxic. it needs to NOT happen. keeping that shit out of the inbox is far preferable if all i have to do is send a dm to a mod.

? just ban it. people appeal unjust bans.

id rather stop being called a shill and bot every time my opinion deviates from the hivemind. that shit is toxic

when the appeal comes in, are you going to deny it?

this can be a very quiet exercise, without implying to other users that the user in question might be a bot. by contrast, just probing it out in the open taints that users interactions.

i’m saynig no public probing should be done at all.

, there needs to be a smoking gun for a moderator to see a poster is undeniably a bot

here’s a smoking gun: they don’t appeal their ban.

Most mod actions happen hours/days after the activity has already passed, so even if mods are 100% successful in removing LLM content, most of the experienced interaction people have will already be with the LLM bots.

users should still be discouraged from doing your probing anyway. mods should be encouraged to be involved.

if the community rule is to ignore LLM bots when they appear in the comments

it should be encouraged for people to report bots. that’s not ignoring.

i expect admins and mods to deal with bots quietly. filling the comment sections with chatter is bad. encouraging users to fill the comment section with chatter is bad. encouraging users to treat other users as machines is bad.
