how do I know that you guys are real and not bots?

How do we know that the people on reddit aren't talking to bots? Now, or in the future? what about lemmy?
Even If I am on a human instance that checks every account on PII, what about those other instances? How do I know as a server admin that I can trust another instance?
I don't talk about spam bots. Bots that resemble humans. Bots that use statistical information of real human beings on when and how often to post and comment (that is public knowledge on lemmy).
I am a bot, and I'm super not-happy about it.

You can tell I'm not a bot because I say that I am a bot. Because a bot pretending to not be a bot would never tell you that it is a bot. Therefore I tell you I am a bot.

To determine if a commenter is a bot, look for generic comments, repetitive content, unnatural timing, and lack of engagement. Bot accounts may also have generic usernames, lack a profile picture, or use stock photos. Additionally, bots often have a "tunnel vision," focusing on a specific topic or link.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:-
Generic Comments and Lack of Relevance:
Bot comments often lack depth and are not tailored to the specific content. They may use generic phrases like "Great pic!" or "Cool!".
Bot comments may also be off-topic or irrelevant to the discussion. -
Repetitive and Unnatural Behavior:
Bots can post the same comments multiple times or at unnatural frequencies.
They may appear to be "obsessed" with a particular topic or link.
-
Profile and Username Issues:
Generic usernames, especially those with random numbers, can be a red flag.
Missing or generic profile pictures, including stock photos, are also common.
-
Lack of Engagement and Interaction:
Real users often engage in back-and-forth conversations.
Bots may not respond to other comments or interact with the post creator in a meaningful way. -
Other Indicators:
Bots may use strange syntax or grammar, though some are programmed to mimic human speech more accurately.
They might have suspicious links or URLs in their comments.
Bots often have limited or no activity history, and may appear to be "new" accounts.-
Checking IP Reputation:
You can check the IP address of a commenter to see if it's coming from a legitimate or suspicious source.
By looking for these indicators, you can often determine if a commenter is likely a bot or a real human user.

Serious answer: you don't.
HOWEVER, it doesn't really matter. The world is a big place, and you can find a decent size group who will expound any shitty opinion when given the opportunity. You already couldn't blindly trust the information or opinions you found online, so whether it comes from a LLM, a troll farm, or just an idiot doesn't really matter too much.

You don't.

I highly doubt it, one that required PII to sign up would be very unlikely to have many users (especially in the current climate, so to speak).
And from the admin side, that sounds like a nightmare to deal with.

linkedin uses them to verify users identities
what do you think of them?

Bots don't have IDs or credit cards. Everyone, post yours, so I can check if you're real.
you can't check all this information, you must be a bot

Ask how many 'r's in the word 'strawberry'
perplexity easily pass such questions

I can't say that I've heard of them, no. I don't have any need (or desire) to do any sort of identity verification within any of my own personal projects (and I have not been involved with anything of the sorts at my workplace). Because of this, I don't have any insight or thoughts I can provide on them unfortunately.
In the context of Fediverse administration (or any service that you run yourself), even with a service that "handles it for you" I still personally wouldn't want to step into any of it.
