Am I just noticing them more now? It’s like every other post now is a bot. Please don’t tell me that lemmy is about to be like reddit where it’s only bots that post anything at all
You must log in or # to comment.
any public space that intermediates people attention is eventually going to be spam by bots, proportionally to the number of people present. Lemmy doesn’t do much to avoid this. The public internet has no future and the fediverse should be building tools for federated community spaces rather than public spaces shaped in the image of attention-harvesting machines.
I think they were always there, it’s that organic posts have gone down since the election is over and the ratio had changed.
do you have examples of these bot posts? i don’t think i’ve ever seen one.
