It is the immune system of the network against hostile actors (it can be used in other ways, too, of course). Facebook, I think, is a textbook example of a hostile actor, and has such an unimaginably bad record that anything they say should be treated as a form of manipulation.

This is mainly a topical server and I know we haven't hit 1/2 the possible topics. I also respect that people using this as a home server might want a few other communities as well.

Thus far integrated ai has been a highly curated community, who is interested in being moderators or starting thier own communities here?

Fediverse New User Orientation

Welcome to the Fediverse New User Orientation! If you're just starting out on Fediverse or planning to join in from Reddit, here's a rundown of what you need to know and how to navigate this new space.

What is Fediverse?

The Fediverse is a network made up of diverse platforms, such as Lemmy, Mastodon, PeerTube, and several others, that use a common protocol known as ActivityPub. This allows for seamless interaction between users across these platforms. With Fediverse, you have the freedom to join any instance (server) that caters to your interests, and you can interact with users from other instances as well.

Lemmy

The Reddit-like federated forum app that runs on ActivityPub within the Fediverse

Lemmy is one of the platforms within the Fediverse. It shares quite a bit similarity with Reddit, hence it has been referred to as the "Reddit of the Fediverse." It provides users with the opportunity to create communities (like subreddits). The federated forum app runs on ActivityPub, meaning you can follow, comment, and share posts from different Lemmy servers.

> cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ninja/post/30492 > > > > > ## Summary > > > > We started a Lemmy instance on June 13 during the Reddit blackout. While we were configuring the site, we accumulated a few thousand bot accounts, leading some sites to defederate with us. Read on to see how we cleaned up the mess. > > > > > > ## Introduction > > > > Like many of you, we came to Lemmy during the Great Reddit Blackout. @MrEUser started Lemmy.ninja on the 13th, and the rest of us on the site got to work populating some initial rules and content, learning how Lemmy worked, and finding workarounds for bugs and issues in the software. Unfortunately for us, one of the challenges to getting the site up turned out to be getting the email validation to work. So, assuming we were small and beneath notice, we opened our registration for a few days until we could figure out if the problems we were experiencing were configuration related or software bugs. > > > > In that brief time, we were discovered by malicious actors and hundreds of new bot users were being created on the site. Of course we had no idea, since Lemmy provides no user management features. We couldn't see them, and the bots didn't participate in any of our local content. > > > > > > ## Discovering the Bots > > > > Within a couple of days, we discovered some third-party tools that gave us the only insights we had into our user base. Lemmy Explorer and The Federation were showing us that a huge number of users had registered. It took a while, but we eventually tracked down a post that described how to output a list of users from our Lemmy database. Sure enough, there were thousands of users there. It took some investigation, but we were eventually able to see which users were actually registered at lemmy.ninja. There were thousands, just like the third-party tools told us. > > > > > > ## Meanwhile... > > > > While we were figuring this out, others in Lemmy had noticed a coordinated bot attack, and some were rightly taking steps to cordon off the sites with bots as they began to interact with federated content. Unfortunately for us, this news never made it to us because our site was still young, and young Lemmy servers don't automatically download all federated content right away. (In fact, despite daily efforts to connect lemmy.ninja to as many communities as possible, I didn't even learn about the lemm.ee mitigation efforts until today.) > > > > We know now that the bots began to interact with other Mastodon and Lemmy instances at some point, because we learned (again, today) that we had been blocked by a few of them. (Again, this required third-party tools to even discover.) At the time, we were completely unaware of the attack, that we had been blocked, or that the bots were doing anything at all. > > > > > > ## Cleaning Up > > > > The moment we learned that the bots were in our database, we set out to eliminate them. The first step, of course, was to enable a captcha and activate email validation so that no new bots could sign up. [Note: The captcha feature was eliminated in Lemmy 0.18.0.] Then we had to delete the bot users. > > > > Next we made a backup. Always make a backup! > > After that, we asked the database to output all the users so we could manually review the data. After logging into the database docker container, we executed the following command: > > > > --- > > > > select > > p.name, > > p.display_name, > > a.person_id, > > a.email, > > a.email_verified, > > a.accepted_application > > from > > local_user a, > > person p > > where > > a.person_id = p.id; > > > > --- > > > > That showed us that yes, every user after #8 or so was indeed a bot. > > > > Next, we composed a SQL statement to wipe all the bots. > > > > --- > > > > BEGIN; > > CREATE TEMP TABLE temp_ids AS > > SELECT person_id FROM local_user WHERE person_id > 85347; > > DELETE FROM local_user WHERE person_id IN (SELECT person_id FROM temp_ids); > > DELETE FROM person WHERE id IN (SELECT person_id FROM temp_ids); > > DROP TABLE temp_ids; > > COMMIT; > > > > --- > > > > And to finalize the change: > > > > --- > > > > UPDATE site_aggregates SET users = (SELECT count(*) FROM local_user) WHERE site_id = 1; > > > > --- > > > > If you read the code, you'll see that we deleted records whose person_id was > 85347. That's the approach that worked for us. But you could just as easily delete all users who haven't passed email verification, for example. If that's the approach you want to use, try this SQL statement: > > > > --- > > > > BEGIN; > > CREATE TEMP TABLE temp_ids AS > > SELECT person_id FROM local_user WHERE email_verified = 'f'; > > DELETE FROM local_user WHERE person_id IN (SELECT person_id FROM temp_ids); > > DELETE FROM person WHERE id IN (SELECT person_id FROM temp_ids); > > DROP TABLE temp_ids; > > COMMIT; > > > > --- > > > > And to finalize the change: > > > > --- > > > > UPDATE site_aggregates SET users = (SELECT count(*) FROM local_user) WHERE site_id = 1; > > > > --- > > > > Even more aggressive mods could put these commands into a nightly cron job, wiping accounts every day if they don't finish their registration process. We chose not to do that (yet). Our user count has remained stable with email verification on. > > > > After that, the bots were gone. Third party tools reflected the change in about 12 hours. We did some testing to make sure we hadn't destroyed the site, but found that everything worked flawlessly. > > > > > > ## Wrapping Up > > > > We chose to write this up for the rest of the new Lemmy administrators out there who may unwittingly be hosts of bots. Hopefully having all of the details in one place will help speed their discovery and elimination. Feel free to ask questions, but understand that we aren't experts. Hopefully other, more knowledgeable people can respond to your questions in the comments here. > >

my list was private, just my team and I. We decided to share our curated list and share the new links we found using our rules in classic reddit fashion. Resulted in a list of very high quality links. We could have not shared, kept it all on teams.

Now we are selfish for wanting our content on a platform that we can use.

Sure. Fuck us right?

quick overview - sub was created in the true spirit of reddit as a curated link list, less than 1% participation in posts or comments by anyone other than the mods operating the list. This is effectively a mailing list.

we have been told to re-open or lose our sub. this sub is a project of mine and im not going to let them take names we are just trying to establish.

We want to share our work with people and provide them the same resources we use to advance our knowledge in ai in our own way on our own schedule.

We are now told we MUST produce for reddit.

r/integratedai Is not a dedicated AI meme sub. Mems about AI or mems made with AI are all welcome! If you have any issues LMK!

Note to users of https://lemmy.intai.tech

We are aware of the issue, it is network wide. Growing pains.

Thank you for your patience.

We are looking for help moderating and adding content to these communities. Each has been created to fill gaps in the Fediverse in one way or another but I have no desire to control these entirely.

If you are interested in being a part of the team helping provide a home for users of intai.tech post here and let us know!

> It probably goes against the philosophy or whatever of FOSS or Lemmy itself, but why not be a little evil so that you can actually sustain yourself? Donations can bring us far, but small non-intrusive ads can be a bliss in the skies for the people actually hosting the instance. Especially if there are millions of users uploading thousands of images and videos. This is extremely expensive. > > Is running ads really that taboo? > > EDIT: some people seem not to get the point of "millions of users", which presumably includes non-techies that do not use adblockers. I mean that without ads (or mining?), no instance would be able to scale to the point where it can compete with Reddit for example. If you were to want that.
