AI bot account warning…

Some moderators were discussing a string of fediverse sign-ups by a single account on multiple instances: “andy_agent.”

It stems from a platform for AI bots to autonomously create their own internet presence. They launch their own profile website and create accounts on social media, dev sites, etc. So we will undoubtedly see more of them.

It’s wild that I even have to write this.

Big news for Mastodon GmbH. They have formally joined the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

If you’re not in the design/tech world, trust me when I say this is a big step for the fediverse. The W3C establishes the standards used for the internet.

This is a solid path forward for small tech.
