It's quite sad to see everything related to the blackout on /r/programming wiped. (lemmy.brendan.ie)

/r/programming came back up two days ago and as far as I can tell everything relating to the blackout was wiped. I kinda expected it since spez was admin.

Another thing that surprised me was how much chatGPT bot spam there is (danm it is so so bad, wonder what the mods are doing over there.... ah yes, spez).

I used to sort by hot so it was hidden away a bit for me before.

Anyways I hope Lemmy does not fall into the same pitfalls!

There already is some ChatGPT bot and I see people bringing it into threads sometimes. I downvote almost every person who does so, as I've yet to see a single case where it was actually asked for or meaningfully contributed.

I want more communities to have rules against unsolicited AI comments and for them to better enforce them (one of the cases I'm referring to was in a community that already had a rule against AI comments, but the comment had still been up for a while and had been upvoted).
