  • Verification: Implement robust account verification and clearly label bot accounts.

    ☑ Clear label for bot accounts
    ☑ 3 different levels of captcha verification (I use the intermediary level in my instance and rarely deal with any bot)

    Behavioral Analysis: Use algorithms to identify bot-like behavior.

    Profiling algorithms seems like something people are running away when they choose fediverse platforms, this kind of solution have to be very well thought and communicated.

    User Reporting: Enable easy reporting of suspected bots by users.

    ☑ Reporting in lemmy is just as easy as anywhere else.

    Rate Limiting: Limit posting frequency to reduce spam.

    Content Moderation: Enhance tools to detect and manage bot-generated content.

    What do you suggest other than profiling accounts?

    User Education: Provide resources to help users recognize bots.

    This is not up to Lemmy development team.

    Adaptive Policies: Regularly update policies to counter evolving bot tactics.

    Idem.








  • or this post I just did:

    Well, while we don’t overthrow the system, we still can use its infrastructure to subvert it, and that applies here on the internet as well.

    Today I’m going to teach you how to get the URL of videos from Reddit with audio and images.

    You can press the F12 key, this will open DevTools, and go to the console tab. Then paste this code:

    let array = document.getElementsByTagName("shreddit-player")[0].__packagedMedia.playbackMp4s.permutations;
    let url = array[array.length - 1].source.url;
    alert(url);
    

    If you want to create a shortcut to make things easier, just make a bookmark and paste this here in the address field:

    javascript:
    let array = document.getElementsByTagName("shreddit-player")[0].__packagedMedia.playbackMp4s.permutations;
    let url = array[array.length - 1].source.url;
    alert(url);
    

    This code opens an alert with the video’s URL for you to copy and use wherever you want.
