    Even before the insane number of bots that are on reddit today, I believe that subreddit was one of the main ways for astroturf accounts to gain karma quickly. They knew that everyone was just there to look at happy things and would upvote heavily.

      People finally find a place to be happy and bots come and ruin it. I hate robots.

        Be better: hate the humans who deployed the bots.

          Be better: hate the system that incentivizes deploying bots.

    Back in the 90s there was an article about some “spam king” guy who was blasting out millions of emails and basically crushing mail servers and making inboxes useless. They interviewed him and he was all indignant about it like “I have the right to do this” and all that.

    That is when I knew the internet and humanity was doomed from the start.

          where is image from?
          plus, if you’re going to break the law, there are plenty of better images to choose from

            biggest version i could find, suspiciously photo has top of hair cropped
            tip: if there’s no copyright notice, that means that you CANNOT use the image

    Could the same thing happen on the Fediverse? I mean could a community get overrun by bot posters without any actual humans posting? I’m not sure what the endgame of doing that would be.

    I’d estimate as much as 50% of the entire community left on Reddit are bots. I’ve seen people being downvoted systemically, just for saying completely ordinary things that aren’t even controversial.

    So…if dead internet theory has gone into effect, does that mean adverts are basically just a medium of wealth circulation between tech bros in a circle jerk?

    Oh no. Have they tried insulting their mods, taking away their perfectly fine moderation tools, replacing them with objectively worse advertisement-delivery-first apps and taunting everybody who disagrees with that decision before forcibly suppressing any protests and banning dissenting voices? Maybe that’ll help making the sub attractive for content creators.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
