I mean, don't friend, or put high trust on people you don't know is pretty strong. Due to the "six degrees of separation" phenomenon, it scales pretty easily as well. If you have stupid friends that friend bots you can cut them off all, or just lower your trust in them.
"Post-turing" is pretty strong. People who've spent much time interacting with LLMs can easily spot them. For whatever reason, they all seem to have similar styles of writing.
Know IRL? Seems it would inherently limit discoverability and openness. New users or those outside the immediate social graph would face significant barriers to entry and still vulnerable to manipulation, such as bots infiltrating through unsuspecting friends or malicious actors leveraging connections to gain credibility.
Not the good ones, many conversations online are fleeting. Those tell-tale signs can be removed with the right prompt and context. We're post turing in the sense that in most interactions online people wouldn't be able to tell they were speaking to a bot, especially if they weren't looking - which most aren't.
