While browsing the fediverse I come across more and more accounts that seem … a bit off, a little uncanny. The stuff they post seems random, their comments slightly weird. What’s going on, is the fediverse being overrun by bots? Or am I as a fanatic anti-AI person just losing my mind and seeing the enemy everywhere?

I hate the fact that I now question every interaction that seems a bit off - it seems such a stupid waste of my time and I’m afraid I might just end up blocking real people who happen to express themselves in a strange way - as a neurodivergent person I know how bad I would feel about being ostracized as ‘too strange to be real’. How would you handle this?

    Hold up. So Lemvotes is basically churning Palantir style data on who should get sent to some camp if they even accidentally upvote something with the P location name in it?

    Why they do that?

      Because any admin can see it, and Reddit is certainly selling it. It would be unsafe to assume these data are kept private.
