Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome 🀟😁

For two weeks, a client from China's state-run academic network queried our Mastodon instance for who follows whom. Not content β€” relationships. No project description exists anywhere. Here is what we found, and how to check your own instance.

I'm quoting @tiptoes@sh.itjust.works comment on the same link on !fediverse@lemmy.world

(We can read it just below on piefed since it merges comment from the same link)

The phrasing and pacing sound repeatedly β€œbut wait there’s more” style that AI seems to favor. Always trying to re-emphasize a point already made to make the reader interpret it a specific way.

Not to mention the em-dashes.

Sometimes good writing sounds like that too, but good writers also know to not use and repeat that same style over every paragraph.

So that what lead me to create and put this tag "AI Article". I admit that's very difficult to seperate fake from the truth and trust any content that have a AI vibe.
