  This is true, already you can tell it is more real people here.

    By my estimate Lemmy is about 20 percent bots

    • Anonymous_Leaker@lemmy.world ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I actually think it it might be lower.

        I hope.

        If a neutral post about the Israeli dictator gets 20 percent down votes I get the feeling theres something going on though, that’s one of the tells

        Plus reuploads from other social media that seem fully automated for a while now

        I’m sure there is astroturfing but it just doesn’t work that well on intelligent crowds, the succes rate will be lower so our spidy sense isn’t tingly enough. But there’s tingling allright.

        Isn’t mass paranoia through induced mass psychosis fun? Hard to keep your pants clean walking through muddy streets

  I feel that for the past two weeks the bot number surged here… Been here for 2 years but lately the opinions people are upvoting in some threads seem like prime rage bait

    I know exactly what you mean. I’ve noticed the same “shift in quality” but I honestly think they are real, live, barely intelligent people.

    I can’t help but think the recent surge in “How do you get past a Reddit ban?” posts is related.

  It’s already been confirmed there’s way more bots than people.

  • Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    And I’m sure that if you were one of them, you’d have noticed that I said exactly that in the first sentence.

      No you said theres probably more bots and I said and confirmed there are more bots than people.

      Probably isn’t a confirmation.

  My theory (very bad) is that the fediverse is the prelude of an internet so decentralized it will stop being useful to corporations.

  The “upper web” will be corporate, ads, marketing and paid services. The “lower web” will be a series of semi connected networks that will loosely operate as a whole.

  Maybe in 10~20 years, a physical new internet will be born, completely independent from the current one and untouched by companies.

    A new internet isn’t even needed, just a new protocol.

    Corpos aren’t on Gopher or Gemini, for instance.

  I like the way you capitalised THE WHOLE INTERNET

  I’m not having a go at you. Just make me chuckle like it’s like the way an old person would refer to the “WHOLE INTERNET”.

  Again just to be clear not having a go at you or suggesting anything about your age. It just made me laugh.

    No, you’re right. I’m pretty fucking old.

    What would a younger person say instead? “Everyone online”?

  False I’m a bot. You’re interacting with me!

  • executivechimp@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    You’re absolutely right! We’re not just interacting — we’re having a conversation.
