According to an r/modcoord post this subreddit was another one where the admins wholesale removed the current mod team and now they are looking for replacements.
The worst thing about AI so far is that anyone speaking blandly at length with good grammar is going to be suspect. That was my thing!
Time to start swearing!
Don’t fucking tell me what to do
Don’t you fucking swear in this God damn fucking Christian household! Jesus Christ!
Be more concise.
“Me? Do evil?
Yes.”
Nice try, ChatGPT
I hope that kills formal writing and instead ushers a new era where we write how we actually talk and think. Bad grammer, spelling errors, cussing and all that bullshit
The trouble is, I feel like learning to write that way can improve your critical thinking skills. It’s just another nicety that distances us from animals that I’d rather not lose.
We are animals.
I would argue that merely striving to be more than that is what elevates us.
You know what, let them eat cake.
Reddit have proven that they’re categorically incapable of reading the room numerous times. If a bunch of astroturfing spam bots are gonna take over all the popular subs, Reddit is gonna fall to shit within months.
As much as I loathe the power mods who got purged from Reddit like iBleeedOrange and AwkwardTheTurtle, at least they were competent.
Spez is getting everything he deserves at this point.
One of the nails in the coffin for Digg was that users increasingly felt they didn’t have a voice on the site anymore because a few power users had games the system and taken control. The same thing has happened to Reddit, except now those users are able to hide behind bots and AI.
I didn’t realize how bad it had become until I came to the Fediverse and saw more fresh content than I had seen on Reddit in years. No more timed reposts of the same memes or top posts, more organic conversations in the comments, meme formats I hadn’t seen in years.
In a way I think this is part of why the old memos resurfaced. The humans were rebelling against the careful curating of contant they were exposed to previously by enjoying things that were organic and illogical.
Reddit is worse than Digg in that respect. Imagine if MrBabyMan and other Digg power users were narcissistic power-tripping assholes with the power to ban people and remove content and you get Reddit.
The beauty of the fediverse is that if you don’t like an instance or its admins, you can just make your own instance with blackjack and hookers. Digg and Reddit had no such recourse.
Thank you for putting into words how I’ve been feeling about Lemmy
Their complete inability to read the room is impressive. Like I’m autistic and I’ve never been this unable. They really have a special skill to self sabotage with that. I’m in awe in the worst possible way.
I’d like to help and do a supremely bad job.
I vote for this dude
Remove all the valid posts and keep the spam up
Immediate blackout and John Oliver pics for everyone!
Yeah smells of ChatGPT.
Sweet, spambots with admin powers
y’all are missing the context.
The first one was written by ChatGPT, the rest is just actual users trolling ModCodeofConduct
