I had this weird sensation when I watched Metropolis. I found myself thinking "ugh every trope and this is hacky as hell" then I remembered: "oh wait, this is the source of all of those things." It made it a lot easier to appreciate.

Yes, but are they sliving?
I think that one of the most difficult things to deal with more common bots, spamming, reposting, etc.
Is that parsing all the commentary and dealing with it on a service wide level is really hard to do, in terms of computing power and sheer volume of content. Seems to me that do this on an instance level with user numbers in the 10's of thousands is a heck of a lot more reasonable than doing it on a 10's of millions of users service.
What I'm getting at is that this really seems like something that could (maybe even should) be built into the instance moderation tools, at least some method of marking user activity as suspicious for further investigation by human admins/mods.
We're really operating on the assumption that people spinning up instances are acting in good faith, until they prove that they aren't, I think the first step is giving good faith actors the tools to moderate effectively, then worrying about bad faith admins.
@exscape That's probably the wildest thing I'm finding about all of this. Reading that as the top comment, from kbin.social.
I'll be buying a new car soon. Fuck Mazda.
