chugs down cool, refreshing, non-exploitative Lemmy.

Oh man, you guys still drink those pisswater flavors?

[–] Skyrkazm 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I sometimes go back to reddit to see what's happening to it. Yup. It's shitting itself.

Bot accounts everywhere in both comments and posts. It's so common in fact that you just need to scroll a small post to figure out either OP or the commenter is a bot. also chugs Lemmy

Thankfully, Lemmy knows how to pump us full of bot-free content and have us asking for more.

How do you know which accounts are bots?

[–] Butterpaderp 7 points 11 months ago

Go to any major post on reddit, especially crusty old reposts, and the thread will be filled with one sentence replies. Stuff that's so generic it makes you fall asleep reading it, or just cringe from the fake enthusiasm. Sometimes there's really good comments, but its because it was scraped from the comment section of the last time the image or meme was reposted. Sometimes, the comment will have nothing to do with anything at all because the bot had bad data. It's kinda wild how awful some of the comment sections have gotten lately on there.

My personal theory on why bots are rampant now is a twofer. One reason being people leaving the platform, because of reddit api bs, or because of subs shutting down to protest, etc. And the other reason is that some folks are trying to get back at reddit by spamming bots, increasing how many there are.

[–] Skyrkazm 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

A quick rundown.

Basically they make a reddit account, let it age like milk. You know, keep it in the basement with 0 post history of any kind for half a year or so. Maybe multiple. Than they activate it, it spam posts, and it never responds to users like a human would. Even stealing comments and such.

Those are the main symptoms. OP not responding to being called a bot is especially the major red flag most use.

Edit: When I say OP, I'm using it to refer to reddit users in this case. Not the OP of THIS post. For him, thank you for the laughs:)

Haha, so true! I had to stop sipping this refreshing Coca Cola to laugh!

Same assholes are here, in a smaller community, which makes their voices louder.

But thank god there's no targeted ads!

[–] Sho 2 points 11 months ago

I have come across a few profiles that are just here to be trolls, but not many.

[–] KpntAutismus 2 points 11 months ago

don't forget the tankies! they're always there to blame "capitalism" for everything.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Everybody here: "lol he means those other assholes"

Why would you switch the colors like that *twitch*

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

A search engine returned a link that pointed to Reddit and i went to check it out and it was like woah there partner you have to create an account and login. That fucking platform is steadily becoming a huge pain in the ass. They will probably want us all to verify who we are with a photo id before long.

[–] thorbot 12 points 11 months ago

Yeah but you know what’s getting better?

Fuck it let him blow all of his money on the zeitgeist machines. Meanwhile, all of you beautiful bastards will build the fediverse until it’s undeniably better in every way. These growing pains are the worst but it’s essential.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I heard Huffman and Musk spoke about what they're doing with their networks. Apparently Huffman liked Musk's approach, maybe they're coordinating the enshittification.

[–] jopepa 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

These platforms were essential tools for free thinking and organizing that’s a threat to the people on top of the heap. I think “maybe” is an understatement.

Inside of a year the front page of the internet became a mailer coupon book, and the global town square had a cybertruck drive through the crowd. The fediverse isn’t where we need it to be, yet, but it’s the only way to secure these tools from the kinds of people that want to control them.

Fuck Google, too, for good measure.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Fuck Ryan reynolds too not for good measure but because im gay and a home wrecker

Nothing even gets better and everything seems to have been better before. This is how it generally rolls.
