I've been thinking that one of the most important issues in the modern internet is trust: is this e-mail really from who the sender claims to be? Was this text written by a human? If it was, is it propaganda? SEO filler? Written by a troll farm? Is this product what it claims to be? Is this review true?
I think the #fediverse is doing a much better job than other mediums on this front, largely thanks to tight moderation ensuring all my interactions here are with actual people.
@gabrielesvelto You a just not paranoid enough, I encounter post questioning the realness of people here and reality in general almost weekly in my timeline 😂
@gabrielesvelto Sure, I agree with you! Although I do receive follow request that look automated from people I have never interacted with, but the amount is negligible compared to centralized social media. I was just joking and I'm pretty sure that people I was referring to with meta-ideas how everyone here is based on a language model are joking too.
@m0xee let's say that compared to the blue site it's really, really hard for me to find an inauthentic post, while a lot of my interactions I received were from obvious bots, trolls, paid shills and the like
