How (racist/sexist/whatever) harassment on Mastodon works:
1. Harasser replies to their target's post, with the reply set to "followers only", saying the most vile stuff you can imagine.
2. All the harasser's followers join in on the harassment, posting more vile stuff.
3. Nobody but the target and the harassment crew can see the vile stuff that was said.
4. Target is traumatized. Nobody else can see why.
5. Everybody says "I don't see it so it's not happening."
@ai6yr "The major cost of most corporations is labor."
*HARD* disagree.
The cost that they perceive as "disposable" is labor. The highest actual cost, by far, is the people at the top, most of whom do practically nothing (or even make willfully bad decisions like integrating fake "AI" into systems that shouldn't be using a LLM and will ultimately present a huge loss later) while being paid many many millions...
And those are the positions most disposable and that a LLM could fake best...

@ellyxir There's a lot of "LLM-isms" which they repeat more than humans and you can get a feel for them after reading enough slop. :P

@suricrasia autism is often comorbid with hypermobility and gives folks an edge on both layers of the metaphor
@soapdog I think cover traffic and full encryption is how folks usually go about it. GNUnet is a good example. https://docs.gnunet.org/latest/about.html
@SecureOwl Yeahhhhhh. TBH undocumented user-focused APIs have been my go to. I just inspect what a web app is tying to do and strip it down. Works most of the time until they change something. :P
