while Lemmy scratches my post reddit itch, this is one of the down sides. Everyone goes to Reddit, despite it being an AI Bot filled shit show, so you never get the same visibility. At least around here you get a better quality of poster, and you don't need to select your words quite as much.
Better quality of poster? All of these memes OP is talking are just straight from Reddit.
I mean they actually have a brain and can use context clues. There's also a rather high chance that someone you meet is an ACTUAL HUMAN.
Search engines direct you to Reddit as a first page - even first result - choice. It's superceded Wikipedia in a lot of cases.
Which tells you organic human generated content is increasingly rare and here we are probably the last unpolluted corners of the human experience outside the non-online local experiences.
:-/ I seriously doubt that.
At some point, we'll have to find a better way of sifting the wheat from the shit. But I'd be crazy to assume bots around bouncing around the Lemmiverse pushing misinformation just like they are everywhere else.
The bots will always come. But the humans will have a fighting chance here because we have built a muscle to sniff corporate propaganda much faster than those for-profit algorithm managed anti-social media.
It's not that bad, Lemmy still has a long way to go if they ever want to be something close to an alternative.
All it needs to do is be true to the Left, comrade
That’s the worst part of Reddit. The absolute toxicity and superiority complex you see in these giant subreddits. 1 wrong word and everyone comes after you based on 1000 assumptions from that 1 word.
