I have noticed a user that I suspect may be posting AI generated content. What should I do in such a situation? I don't want to go into exactly why I think it's an AI. Suffice to say, I work on LL...

I don't know about eventually, but while codidact is still getting started, it's better to not splinter communities. Critical mass is make or break for communities. Getting to that critical mass i...
