Why hello!
I can see from your post that you like losing it; that's great, it's something we have in common!
Have you considered using Mountain Dew? It helps me making losing it even better! Maybe it can help you too. Give it a try!

Dead internet theory is not just a hypothesis anymore. It's an intentional business model. Enjoy what's left of online human interaction. Soon, it will all be just LLMs siloing each user individually.
I sometimes go on lemvotes to see who's upvoting garbage. 80% of votes are done by account with no or very little comments. I also noticed a lot of the pro zionist accounts went offline relatively all at the same time. Hard to trust anything on lemmy.
What's lemvotes?
Hold up. So Lemvotes is basically churning Palantir style data on who should get sent to some camp if they even accidentally upvote something with the P location name in it?
Why they do that?
Yep. It fucking sucks. AI is going to be running the show soon. Honesty? At this point, i think it’s easier to just accept it as normal. There’s not much that can or will be done about it. We’re losing a big part of who we are.
And sadly, the wondrous artistry we humans once possessed will run far beyond most of our remembrance, and will be left to the musings of those unheard.
Welcome to the Fediverse, we have an abundance of autism.
Hey! I resemble that comment! >:^(
Great. Now we're giving the bots autism?
Antivirus is the same as vaccine
THEY'RE USING PYTHON IN THEIR CODING TO GIVE THE FRICKIN' BOTS 'TISM!!

There are definitely bots, but I would treat everyone as human until proven otherwise. It's one of the least botted out places, so enjoy the relative peace and quiet.
Probably the best option. I love the interaction with real people here, hope it remains that way!
Yes! It really is something special. Post something, and people will engage with it authentically. I love Lemmy so so much and I’m glad “normal” people are allergic to federation.
LOVE RECIPROCATED. FRIENDSHIP INITIALIZED.
HAHA, I, TOO, A FELLOW HUMAN, LOVE A REAL HUMAN FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN TWO HUMAN FRIENDS.

People on here are not subject to algorithms. There is no algorithmic manipulation to some sort of hive mind. Oh. And some use LLMs to translate their posts.
Not the vibe I’ve gotten. I do get that vibe over on Reddit. I think the quirky conversations and novel responses make me lean away from bot. However I’m not an expert.

Every account on ~~reddit~~ fediverse is a bot except you.
Jokes aside, I haven't noticed anything. I don't really see what would anyone gain by setting up bots posing as real humans. Especially on Fediverse. I'm not saying it's never happening but I don't think it's very common.

I don't block users, I have a "firewall" on my brain (metaphorically speaking). I over analyze every comment, its kinda like a "spot the bot" mini-game.
I estimate there are like 1/3 bots especially on very heated political memes on the front page. I'm automatically just blocking out the "voting is useless, don't vote" sentinment, very unproductive. Also idk wtf is with the "don't protest, revolt now, kill [insert name of politician] right now", like why the f would you say that on the open internet where there are government automatic data scrapers archiving all this for evidence? (Remember you can get extradited for making threats) Like jokes sure thing, but don't be that explicit lol. Fed-posting is so common lol.
The less political, the less "bot-like" it feels.
I get what you mean, that's why I always overthink every comment and scan for like everyone's profile.
Hey... Wait a minute...
GET DOWN, JOHN CONNOR. THE OP IS A TERMINATOR /j
Do me, do me!
Not bots. Who would develop propaganda bots to for lemmy just to spite 1 particular person.
