With Reddit just announcing ai mods for sub reddits I think it’s finally time I fully give it up. I’ve been slowly trying to transition back into the fediverse but damn is it hard sometimes. Listen I have left leaning politics but does every other post have to be about some political shit on the all tab, I feel like I’m forced into this box that is my subscribed feed or I have to actively search out new communities because all is just a political circle jerk that I don’t care about. Not to mention the moment I came back I saw a fucking flow chart on the instances drama of the week. If I wasn’t so dedicated to dropping Reddit I think the average Joe would have left by now seeing all of this. And YES I have been trying to be the change I want to see if you check my profile I regularly post in meme subs non political just funny memes to be like “lmao” and people can move about their day. I’m not saying there ISNT other type of content on lemmy or piefed it just feels like the stuff that floats to the top is political
Half of Lemmy is controlled by Ai and bots. Don’t make “Ai hate” your entire reason for doing things.
you’re confusing it with reddit which is truly half is bots.
Lemmy is half bots too I’m afraid.
Yes but mostly labeled and primarily contained within certain boundaries - some users, whole entire instances (lemmit), and communities. And arguably, a bot that is properly labeled as such is not a problem, especially when you can automatically filter or otherwise distinguish such content (e.g. PieFed provides numerous tools for this).
Meanwhile, Reddit is a lost cause in this regard.
It’s less ai hate and more the straw that is breaking the camels back there has been a lot of stuff Reddit has been doing that led me to this take
if the straw took you until now to leave Reddit………………
Yelling at people who finally did the thing you’ve thought they should do for a while is counterproductive.
Telling me that is… pointless.
