    Fuck Steven Crowder and this meme. Use any other format. It’s an absolute trash human and does not deserve a meme.

    We all left Digg for Reddit due to Digg going to shit then we left Reddit because it went to shit, now here we are in the Fediverse. Hopefully it won’t turn to shit.

    Where are the people who were on Reddit before the bots? Lemmy is too small but supposedly the biggest alternative.

    So people must still be on Reddit because there is no other place unless they make do with Telegram, X and Discord.

    There are bots on Lemmy already but they don’t argue and they only post article links to some community.

        If you look at history you will notice patterns that raise suspicion.

        Making many posts on popular communities of low-effort memes and/or baiting questions and very few actual comments or engagement with the community is a pretty telling sign. The most common bots are karma-farmers, it’s just worth a lot more on Reddit but even Lemmy is a site that gives weight to people with particular kinds of history.

        They also do it for social engagement experiments and AI training, for posting memes and pictures that have advertiser watermarks, and probably a thousand other motivations I can’t think of.

        Low word-count posts won’t raise suspicion by itself, but if you check the actual context and see that they’re making almost random low-effort replies without actually making human conversation, it can be a good sign of roboshenanigans. “Wow that’s amazing, I can’t wait to share this with my wife” or “Where did you find this? I’ve been looking for something like this!” are both pretty innocuous replies, unless you see them posted in reply to a dumb spongebob meme for example.

        None of this means there aren’t bots that are indistinguishable now. The turing test is dead and buried, we’re entering a strange new world.

    That’s a great observation BoredGamer! 👀

    We here on Lemmy are definitely all human🧍and not bots 🤖unlike Reddit. That is why our conversations here — such as this one — are so natural, genial, and genuine. ❤️🗣️🍍

    Howdy, fellow humans!

    It’s a good day to be breathing air.

    um… my favorite hobby is drinking water…

    (Seriously tho, I already sus 50% of Lemmy users too, a lot of front page posts have the weird “mainstream social media uncanny feel” to it, at this point I treat the social-media/forums as entertainment, I don’t really take it too seriously. If I didn’t witness it myself, it can be potentially fake. That’s how I operate in this world)

      Larger instances control what most people see on all. You might want to look for communities and then look at your subscribed more often. Also, if you’re not already, change from hot, to active, to 6 hours and scaled to see other things.

      And gun nuts. Link any article about armed police or military and you get dissertations about what is an assault rifle or not as if it makes any fucking difference.

    Chowderhead doesn’t deserve a meme. Here are Shredder, Bluey Bandit, and Calvin to use instead :
