It's ironic that this post about addressing potential bot problem is mostly likely written by ChatGPT.
Notice how repetitive the use of "This can help" is?
And that it's properly formatted lol. But serious, the biggest spam I see here are users complaining about bots without evidence that they're a real problem. I believe a lot of them are simply scrapping reddit and posting that content here or are otherwise folks who don't want to see redditors migrating. My take is: Welcome aboard everyone! Make an account and say hey wherever you like to become an active user.
Oh absolutely. Always find it ironic that on reddit people are so quick to accuse each other of being bots and shills when in reality the real bots are easy to spot, and the real shills are busy doing AMAs.
It seems that those of us who look beyond the hype are a minority. Lemmy has potential but also serious problems. Bots are an obvious one, meta and co invading sooner or later is another. Tankies are something that we need to keep talking about and keep an eye on any politically influenced moderating, esp. on lemmy.ml
Interesting observation. Did not notice on my first read...
