Once the fediverse becomes popular and gains main-stream attention, the billionaires and political twats will flock towards it and try to monetize it; Morons will flood the fediverse with memes and AI slop worse than !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world (you know what you've done); corporations will start spamming ads for their shitty products; and scammers will start setting up bot nets to coerce users into sending them money to their new AI waifus.

The unbearable weight of all the garbage entering and attacking the fediverse will drive moderators out the door, leaving servers as wastelands of junk. No longer interesting, no longer human. Just trash, like how Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, etc... are today.

So yes, I'll welcome friends and family into the fediverse with open arms. But I really hope we don't start getting too many shout outs

I have been seeing an uptick in both slop and RWA trolling recently and have taken it as a sign of rising popularity. I just hope moderators can, and will, be able to keep up with pushing out the toxic elements. I would hate to see the fediverse become Reddit 2.0.

Ah thanks! Compared to that, I'm perfectly fine with the LWA on here :D

Left wing anarchists?

slop and shitposting is fine as long as it isn't the majority of the content, sadly shitpost memes seem to be becoming the majority
