That's so mean! I wish people were nicer about stammers, and speech impediments in general. When I got my first service job, I had a handful of customers like that, and I got a glimpse of how much it affects their daily lives. People got impatient and walked away from customers and hung the phone up on them all the time, they were excluded from everything just because they didn't speak as clearly.
And that's just what I noticed from waiting on customers. If they're friends, why isn't OP empathetic?
I know π« Itβs horrible. You should also read their other posts.
Either this is a bot/troll or she is mentally ill with no empathy.
Thatβs the user that keeps asking why their friends donβt like them when they only respond with one worders or all caps, right? Yes, that is one of the users I was referring to, lol
Seems like a bot or an edgy teen.
lol, didnβt catch that part
Yes, her!!
Or maybe I should say βYES.β π
IM. WATCHING. A MOVIE
It's the great slopification
Everyone's saying bots but I think some of it is human-generated ragebait. Like that person who posted twice like "why did my friend block me" with screenshots of them devolving into crytyping as they tell said friend how stupid they are for being autistic.
(I took that bait, don't judge, it was cathartic π)
As for why, I couldn't tell you. Maybe they're not getting enough engagement on Reddit anymore or maybe it's not fun because Reddit already hates autistic people and will side with them. Who knows.
Oh yeah, that person was banned from my instance π
I genuinely canβt tell if that was a bot, a troll, or an emotionally unstable person.
From what I remembered, recent account, no profile picture, barely commented.
I think the questions are from bots, testing topics to farm controversy or outrage points. The greater the number of replies, the more likely the topic will be used in a future marketing or agit-prop campaign.
So you get these really stupid, controversial, psychopathic takes that no one should be taking seriously. The point of the exercise is the emotional reaction, the outrage, not getting a serious answer.
I don't know whether to be flattered that they consider Lemmy a serious enough platform to farm responses or be pissed that they have infected Lemmy like they did with sites like Reddit.
Hello, may I acquaint you with our lord and saviour, Artificial Intelligence?
Edit: That came across way more flippant than I'd intended it to be; I apologize. Yeah, I've noticed it too, you're not alone.
Just like to say that I really appreciate you apologizing and checking your tone, though I thought it was fine! :) the Lemmyverse needs more kind people like you
Back atcha :)
Anything with bullet points is LLM
I use bullet points; they probably learned it from me. Sorry.
- but if it's
- exclusively bullets
- who can truly say?
don't listen to this guy, he's a bullet list haiku bot
- ignore the human
- automated responses
- bulleted haiku
Examples?
Personally, every time I see a βWhere did all this racism come from?β type post, I always wonder if OP is twelve years old.
Noticed that as well, it's absolutely ridiculous. But judging by the amount of serious replies most people don't seem to care.
Any examples so we donβt just have to guess at what you and OP saw and neglected to highlight the ones in question?
This one comes to mind https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/30857370
That's wild. Clearly AI.
So the value is getting a reputation on Lemmy to then influence or peddle shit?
Or is it a testing ground?
No human writes like that.
Damn bro you gonna do me like that π
No... This makes you seem real but based on that post I will always know you are AI.
I have come to conclude that anyone posting a serious life question including drama on the internet is a bot.
I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you might be an NVIDIA H100 GPU deep down.
I wish I was. I could just turn myself off.
but can you turn yourself on? ( Ν‘Β° ΝΚ Ν‘Β°)
How is that post borderline insane? It's a lot of unnecessary detail, but outgrowing your high school mates is a pretty common thing that people sometimes don't know how to handle.
HA HA HA HA. IMAGINE HAVING NEVER MET A HUMAN PERSON LIKE US! THEY PROBABLY DON'T EVEN EAT NORMAL HUMAN FOOD!
They're trying to sow the seeds of outrage. Do not take the bait.
Iβve noticed it too. I came here because Reddit has become increasingly toxic, with bots of outrage and division thriving there. I really hope Lemmy doesnβt follow the same path, but I suspect efforts will be made to make alternatives to controlled media even more toxic. Iβm not sure what the best strategies are to counter this kind of malevolence.
Hey most people here have never encountered any other human being who wasn't involved in their creation.
Not in school? Kindergarten? Heck, neighbours, people in shops? Not a single one?
A lot of amerikans are homeschooled or havenβt left their small town. True for some Canadians too.
Dead Internet incomming.
Zuckerberg discovered lemmy
They're all like 7< days old aswell
I blocked NSQ because a bot is a mod. I don't see anything particularly odd here. It just seems like people asking general random stuff like real people
We're finally hitting the big time!
