probably start with no public API that uses something like a csrf token.

then leverage the patterns that companies combating adblock use and make the page source so spaghetti that anything like beautifulsoup couldn’t use it.

at that point you would have to track fluctuations in user actions, rather the lack of. if a user takes .5 seconds to click an action after a page loads 20 times in an hour flag the account for further surveillance that watches over n days for larger impacting actions like post or activity times. correlate with existing users that are in the same profile range and if they are a match for known bot activity ban the account.

on the flip side, bots may try to randomize interactions to combat this, so another filter may look at long term patterns with repetitive actions. things like adding comments may not be useful, but the way they’re entered may.

how long does it take them to enter the comment into the input form? how many words are they using every comment? are what they are responding to indicative of a response length provided?

for example if the post was, “what’s your favorite cheese?” someone may respond with “Gouda” or “I love Swiss on toasted rye. it reminds me of a lake retreat I had where …” but it would certainly be less than 1000 characters.

as opposed to a post asking about a political opinion that’s nuanced and requires thought and opinion to be shared. not just, “you suck!”

further interactions like upvote/downvote can trigger surveillance. I know some users will dv bomb a user for whatever reason. that could be reason enough to identify them as a malicious entity that’s interfering with the system.

this is an architecture problem.

a new architecture needs to be implemented that would make it impossible for bots to [not] even use the tools, and if they do block them at the source.

I never meant to hurt you when I took it all away

I don’t understand why you’re so emotionally hung up on this “informed consent” idea.

right now, at this very moment, you have opportunities available to you that you couldn’t even imagine. does this upset you?

also, let’s say you were informed of one of the opportunities. however it is so out of reach for you to use it because you’re not educated enough to use it. would this upset you?

can’t blame them.

I’d murder some of my neighbors if they contact me by walking into my house unannounced.

just because you think you have a better culture doesn’t mean you have a better culture.

these are people who have lived for thousands of years insulated within the jungles of SA. They have daily goals and social responsibilities just like you and me.

for us to better understand our own place on this planet these people need to be studied and their culture documented because it’s only a matter of time before they make contact and the culture drastically changes.

Imagine how much culture on earth would change in a year if we found out that there’s an intergalactic federation of civilizations working together today. I bet your plans for the next 3-6 months would change(even if you didn’t want them to).

Lucky for me my parents were both “I didn’t save anything for retirement, my kids will take care of me when I’m older”

man I feel that. It’s like raising a teenager.

“don’t do that, it’ll infect your PC.”

“don’t buy from there your card info will be stolen.”

“no, Biden isn’t going to round us up into camps.”

“now we have to call and get you a new debit card.”

“please don’t buy so much junk food…why? because you have diabetes.”

there exists a dark package infrastructure. usually used for stealing money from grannies but does drug drops and others. get in contact with them on a burner. send them the package with fee and they will deliver it anywhere you need it.

make sure you find a scapegoat within your company that knows what’s going on but doesn’t know you know. make them the whistleblower.

sit back and enjoy the shitshow as the trust breaks down and the company goes under.

every business venture contains risk.

he’s just going full Oprah with these things isn’t he?

did someone tell him it’s a game like duck duck goose?

tariff. tariff. tariff. tariff. tariff. tariff.

Donald, you can’t give everyone tariffs!

is that before…or after…your comment?

there’s cheese?

that’s unfair to the orange.

I’ll smoke a cock if it makes this cold go tf away.

mostly they’re oppressed and rightfully feel a lack of control of their circumstances.

doesn’t make it right, but it’s why anyone bullies others. to feel powerful and in charge.

I love that it took us almost 20 years to finally understand this.

🤣🤡

who knows at this point. you should ask all the other Americans who were charged with terrorism when they get out of jail.
