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.
“…Nah.”

Some people drink Pepsi. Some people drink Coke. The wacky morning DJ says democracy’s a joke.
Aww c’mon now, it was just a little whoopsie-doodle! We all make mistakes! Surely, it’s not fair to hold those who enforce the violence of the state upon the rest of us to the same standard we hold regular people to!
“slipped past”
More like “walked through the wide open thoroughfare designed to allow them in” via deliberate underfunding of regulators and de-fanging consumer protections.
Imagine if a person did this to a bunch of individuals. What would the punishment be?
That person would likely be in prison for the rest of their lives, at least, they would be removed from society as they have proven that they cannot be trusted to participate in good faith.
How will these companies be punished?
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.
