Yeah it's definitely the bots and not the fashy admins that drove me away from reddit.

I mean the bots don't help. The sheer number of obviously AI subreddits and response farms is crazy. There's like 6 prominent "Am I the Assholes", a bunch of text message "screenshot" subreddits which have always been easy to fake, and a bunch of "explain the joke" ones too. I stop reading halfway through most text posts and comments because it's obviously AI

I made a lemmy post about it but I theorize they're crowdsourced AI training. Post something, post a couple of separate AI interpretations of it, then analyze the highest up voted AI and "organic" responses, and feed that back into the model. Rinse/repeat

Like a war on terrorism, that then fights domestic terrorists, that then protects Tesla; any new power will inevitably be abused. Snowden taught us that a long time ago.

Por que, no los dos?

Everyone has their own reasons. If you disagree with their management, then you should celebrate other people choosing to leave, even if for different reasons than your own.

I'm not complaining about people leaving, just saying the bots are not the biggest problem.
