Was on the other site when a commenter pointed out a response that and like 5 or 6 replies to that comment that were all bots. I am finally getting exposed to the concept of dead internet theory. So, how prevalent are bots on a place like lemmy? Are there natural safeguards against bots? I’m not an engineer and probably need a dumbed down explanation. But I did make it to lemmy! So I’ve got that going for me…
It’s on the internet, so I assume at least four out of every three posts are bots trying to sell me something or to get me to hate someone. 🤷♂️
Well that’s just crazy. Almost as crazy as the deals you could get at Blue Chew.
No if its written on the internet, it has to be true! /s
There’s a rule where if you post the wrong information on purpose, someone is gonna correct you more often than just asking a question. It’s called Poe’s Law.
