Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
...with AI admin and moderation. Anyone who's been banned from reddit will tell you that, hell it says as much in the message they give you. I was banned once for saying "slava ukraini" which according to my ban was a direct attack at a minority (apparently russians are a minority according to reddit bots) and then another for asking how long before citizens begin shooting at ICE agents which, again according to reddit bots, was inciting violence on a minority (ICE agents are now also a minority according to reddit).
the vast majority of posts and comments are bots. the obvious reposts with misleading titles to generate karma to allow said bots to have enough karma to then post on various other subreddits to push whatever bullshit agenda or product they want to push.

It’s like Zuck. Why do you keep at it? You won already. The answer is that they are deeply flawed people who needed to go into therapy decades back.

… and mined and monetized by AI
Fuck /u/spez
Sounds like a AI saying it. Half of reddits users are bots, mostly ran by AI
It's really wild that the guy who co-founded Reddit is so universally hated by the users.
Talk about having completely lost touch.
He started groveling to musk, when Xitter was bought

Yeah, they may not have AI generated content (yet) but I left because their AI moderators REPEATEDLY warned/banned me from the site. Every time I sent a protest letter and had an actual person look at the post, I was unbanned, but I am fed the fuck up. That site is a study in enshittification. I am done with those assholes.
And, if they think I'm going to let them scan my retina in order to post, they can fuck right off.
You're lucky they ignore most ban appeals banned by AI, including mines. And the shadowban sub complained the same
LOL!
And we're supposed to take his word for it?
Then maybe they should stop banning all their human users.
Biggest woosh moment on the whole history of internet! On the other note, shut this community now! We can't get peak than this!

Use the platform? You are talking with and training AI.

The twist - AI was originally trained on human input, so it's human even with 99% bots, from a certain point of view.

"Oh, you left reddit for Lemmy? Welcome! Enjoy the conversations about reddit."
When they're being made fun of? Yes, I'm absolutely enjoying it.
Yeah, can't have your excellent training data getting polluted

meanwhile in the average comment section there...
"Advertising Festival" sounds like my own personal Hell.
until every single comment and post has a capacha and 3factor behind it, the site will be overrun with bots... and when it does... the frustration will create a wasteland.
They were actually doing great combating bots in the past, loved reading their biannual reports on the subject, but after they partnered with AI I don't think there is any benefit of the doubt to give.
