It's really weird to me how *literally anything* they say or do is immediately interpreted in the worst possible way here, on Lemmy. Let's get real for a second. Is there a bot problem *on the Internet in general*? That's a resounding "yes". Do we want to do something about it? According to OP - no, not at all. I mean, if OP considers malicious everything that Spez listed, the only remaining course of action is inaction and hoping for the best.

  • You're right in theory, but it's Spez we're talking about. I tend to consider that the following is a rational reaction to Spez preparing to take any action about anything in any context: ![Get ready everybody, he's about to do something stupid!](https://i.imgflip.com/7h7hk9.png)

    There is a bot problem but ID checks are invasive, and you can stop the bots with things like Hcaptcha Passive and Turnstile which use POW to waste the CPU cycles of bots and look for signs of things like Selenium and Puppeteer controlling the browser.

    https://lemmy.ml/post/45007584/24779562 >You have to read between the lines. This just gives them the option to label anybody they want as a “bot” with virtually no way to challenge them. They can now ban anybody they wish for posting content they don’t agree with (pro-gaza, anti-israel, anti-capitalist, etc).

  • How many times do you trust the devil and let him deceive you, you sweet summer child, before you learn not to trust the devil and see past his descriptions? Fuck spez.

    Ironically the only thing that will ever work is identifying a user to a person in one form or another. Otherwise it's just a never ending arms race.
