In PieFed v1.4 it will be possible to label posts as having AI generated content. Labelled posts will get a little badge near their title, similar to how nsfw and nsfl content is labelled. Mods and authors can change this value on a post in the same way they do flair and nsfw, using the little tags button in the bottom right or in 'More options' when editing their post.
Account settings for blocking:
Similar to how NSFW works, each user can control how those posts are listed on the home page, etc. The default is 'Label as AI', which just adds the badge. People averse to AI-generated content might want to change this to 'Hide completely'.
Also similar to NSFW, entire communities can be assigned as 'AI content' and that will auto-tag every post inside as being AI generated. If the community mods have this value unset (e.g. Lemmy communities, which don't have this functionality) then the instance admin can manually override the community's AI Generated setting.
Well, we tried that with !askusa@discuss.online , the success is limited
People will never follow the rules. I mean some will but you can never count on all doing so.
Inside of AskUsa most posts from non-mods are on explicitly political topics, despite efforts to state many other communities (stated by name and with links provided!) where those should go instead of there.
And then outside of that community people refuse to put their questions into it.
Part of the problem may be how the sidebar text tends to be fairly or even extremely hidden by some mobile apps. It would be helpful if the create post screens would show that - on all platforms: PieFed does, Lemmy does not, and some apps might or might not depending on the choices of those particular devs.
