this is not an “AI” data center
I was a bit more high-level in the supply chain planning side (more on the long-term supply planning than rack planning), but AWS definitely has different rack types including AI rack types with dense GPU hardware setups. Are they slicing the buildings by rack type or is it heterogeneous with some AI racks + compute racks?

We’re going to have to start treating it like email with anti spam filtering and reputation. Things like rspamd are very advanced with a lot of signals that it uses.
Right now, the best part of the Fediverse is its weakest point: federation. I can easy spin up my own instance, connect it to lemmy.world and start posting. I can create accounts to make it look legitimate and it takes admins on one or more instance to first start banning individual accounts, then realize the entire instance should be banned. I can then create more domains if I want to. Lemmy.world uses CloudFlare’s anti-bot (which has its privacy ramifications) but that can be trivially be bypassed with federation.
I’ve been thinking Lemmy needs automated anti spam (content filtering) that then feeds into user and instance reputation to automatically flag domains, IPs, etc.
Look at the recent posts about Reddit’s anti-spam practices, it has the advantage of a single system able to collect a lot of metrics. Unfortunately you kind of need it to fight advanced spammers.
