Are there any bots that make shitty comments or something like that? And is there anything lemmy would do against bots? I don’t like dead internet theory and hope this place is free

    There are still several tells that haven’t completely been ironed out. From years of reading bot comments on reddit, I’m able to discern a bot from a human pretty quickly, so long as I am able to check comment history and time stamps.

    They have this weird uncanny valley pattern of speech and it sticks out like a sore thumb when I come across it.

      People act like it’s the worst thing to look at comment history but it’s necessary to check if someone is a real person or to check if their extreme views are really sarcasm.
