Pretty sure you legally have to tell me if you’re bots or not.

In all seriousness, is there any way if knowing if we have bots on lemmy or not? Is it just vibes based? Im of course referring to undercover bots pushing agendas, not automation/meme bots finding haikus and shit.

    That’s a great question!

    I am not a bot, but a real human person:

    • I am composed of flesh, blood, and a vague sense of purpose.
    • I am capable of independent thought (often at 2am).
    • For reasons science has yet to fully explain, I require regular social interaction.

    If you’re seeking conversation, I can suggest a few topics. Or, if preferred, you may upload your current emotional state for review.

    I’m not legally required to tell you, but I can say this anyway: I did correctly identify some traffic lights earlier today, and I got over 80% correct and very few maimed pedestrians.

    You’d be surprised how many people simp for authoritarian regimes for free because they think sucking off Asad Khamenei is sticking it to the man <insert ML bullshit about imperialism here>

      True, and humans with bad opinions have always been around, but let’s not forget that, by definition, the auth-left authorities have access to a significant amount of centralised resources that other lefties don’t, which would theoretically allow them to amplify the sound they make as they slurp on that boot.

    Too sad to be a robot 🙃

    serious answer

    Unfortunately I am a real autistic human, but agendas are not limited to bots! My “agendas” are, openly, anarchist communism, anti-fascism, freedom from hierarchy and domination for all, Linux and FLOSS, neurodiversity, extreme metal, good cheer, and the beauty and unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics.
