Reddit is considered one of the most human spaces left on the internet, but mods and users are overwhelmed with slop posts in the most popular subreddits.
The engagement bots constantly peppering my comments with inane remarks to draw a reaction is what drove me to Lemmy. I was there early on, and it was awesome. As its popularity grew, it became less nice, but I still enjoyed going there. In the end, I didn’t feel like commenting because I knew that I’d just get hit with stupid responses calculated to draw a response. It just felt harassing.

They’re here, too.
I occasionally see comments to the effect of, “Oh, really? Can you tell me more about that?” That seem pretty likely to just be bots trying to generate data on certain topics for AI training. Thankfully, most people seem to ignore them.

Fuck. Am I a bot?
I saw a pretty good short sci-fi film a year or so ago about a woman accidentally finding out that she’s a bot.
Bro you can’t just say that and not mention the name. What was it?

I wish I could remember. It was definitely on YT. I think it was in German with subtitles. It wasn’t long. Possibly was someone’s film school project.

Bruh. I’m in the Netherlands.
Bingo! That’s the one.
I thought you were talking about Blade Runner.
Awesome! Thank you!
Different book, but try We are legion (we are Bob)
Bob only thinks hes human for about half a page?
I would argue he humanity lasts much longer, only losing it after a lot of generational drift.
I’m not denying that, but the comment above is talking about a story about a woman discovering she’s a bot,.
Beep boop fellow clanker.
Wait, was that reply to me with a “Can you elaborate on that” comment a bot?
Digg 2.0 jumper in 2009. I always thought there would be a new Reddit after 2014. But it took 10 years for Lemmy to show up.
