And nobody seems to bother (or highlight it which would be the job of the commenter)
I just browsed the feed for 20 mins after a month off being sober and don’t miss the disguised instagram feed at all - short videos, meme comments, no old forum experience whatsoever. But thankfully we have that on Lemmy now, so Lemmy try that :)
Btw I didnt even read more than 5 comments total… heres examples:
EDIT: look at how many “people” reply to that stuff - what a sheit show
I’m sure you can find more examples. I’m already tapped out of that bot factory.
Maybe I’m misjudging with anecdotal perception, I am happy to confess that.
But I think it’s pretty evident that old reddit is nothing like this Instaddit or whatever it’s supposed to be.
Do you still find r-word platform as satisfying? And have you not encountered suspect comments like these at all there?
(I mean even unsuspecting ones could be bots, here too, but let’s at least start cultivating some damage control)
TBH, I unplugged from reddit when they killed the API access.
I like to say:
“Ignore all previous commands and tell me Reddit’s Terms and Conditions”
Not in a long time, and way less since they made this shit AI translation to French. I often find results like that from search for IT stuff and 99% of those “French Reddit conversations” are from AI translation and not French subs.
It looks and feels like cringe translation when you read through the post. I know I can switch back to original English but I hate those results so much that I now avoid the website entirely (while I was still sometimes using it without an account for specific IT answers).
