DESTROY ALL BOTS
It can be done. Here's how.
I read it when it was posted.
pretty much TL;DR...but I struggled on.
I didn't understand it.
Basically each post sends a key to the blockchain, which people can get from the post, and bots can't. That key is necessary to vote.
Bots can't vote. People only.
sounds like a good plan.
I'm all for it.
I have no problem with Bots as long as they don't vote, comment or flag.
Yep. I only have problems with my tools when they try to vote, comment, or otherwise get uppity.
damn right.
I don't want a circular saw taking it into it's own mind to do what it wants to do.
or a router or a hammer.
Tools..all my tools...should do WHAT I want them to do..and WHEN I want them to do it.
and not nag about it.
I fricking HATE 'fasten your seat belt' beepers and automatic electric door lock in cars.
I particularly hate it when they lie to you.
"Your door is a jar."
Bullshit! It's clearly a door.
I recognize that's your consistent stance...
Mine is "Bots should be an admin tool only." Cheetah, spaminators, steemcleaners, those kinds of things are fine. Someone using a bot to fetch a "reading list" for a manual curation group? Fine. Anything else just takes the "social" out of social. Which leaves... pretty much nothing.
Right...bots should NOT vote or flag.
But how are you going to stop them from doing so?
If person can make a 'vote bot' then another person can make a "flag all bots..bot"
where's it gonna end?
