Look in your heart, you know it to be true (OC)
Looking forward to the comments saying this true but good, actually.

First of all I love this idea, especially for nonprofits, universities and governments.
My biggest question is how moderation will work. The "point" of federation is that each instance can moderate their own way, but presumably the paid moderation will be in the style of mastodon.social, which isn't bad, but not exactly in the spirit of the Fediverse.

Pretty freaky article, and it doesn't surprise me that chatbots could have this effect on some people more vulnerable to this sort of delusional thinking.
I also thought this was very interesting that even a subreddit full of die-hard AI evangelists (many of whom have an already religious-esque view of AI) would notice and identify a problem with this behavior.

Thought this was a really interesting read and felt my fellow Website enjoyers might think so too.
