Comment on 'The Truth Is Paywalled.' Internet Vets Lament the State of the 'Open' Web
Septimaeus@infosec.pub 2 days agoAgree. To take some burden off contributors, maybe we could automate some of that?
Most of us have seen bots used for routine post processing like:
- converting AMP links
- finding/generating archive pages
- exposing original AP/Reuters source
- adding DOI source for pop sci
- alt frontend links
- content-aware wiki refs and the like
We wouldn’t necessarily need traditional bot comments since our software is open. Content helpers could run during post creation, for example. My point is just that there’s existing logic for this kind of stuff.
