While browsing the fediverse I come across more and more accounts that seem ... a bit off, a little uncanny. The stuff they post seems random, their comments slightly weird. What's going on, is the fediverse being overrun by bots? Or am I as a fanatic anti-AI person just losing my mind and seeing the enemy everywhere?

I hate the fact that I now question every interaction that seems a bit off - it seems such a stupid waste of my time and I'm afraid I might just end up blocking real people who happen to express themselves in a strange way - as a neurodivergent person I know how bad I would feel about being ostracized as 'too strange to be real'. How would you handle this?

Honestly you are best off blocking the Lemmy.ml instance. They are Tankie authoritarian boot lickers that keep showing up in abusive mod communities and they have their own community dedicated to their brigading: meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

Same with lemmy.dbzer0.com if you are sick of the Ai simps.

You are likely seeing their bots and them pushing fascist propaganda.

EDIT: https://lemmy.world/post/29072279 Here’s ample evidence to back up the tankie claim

Also happy cake day!

Is it a mandatory rule on .world that you have to explicitly point out .ml users instance in every interaction? You all seem to do it compulsively, like literal bots.

Amazing that you see a post about bots and immediately start ranting about how they should block all the commies

Ok, since you keep talking shit about dbzer0.com, i want to add something here.

First of all, we keep our instance pretty bot-free. It's been a while since i registered, but all applications are getting reviewed before an account is activated. We do have singular bots for administrative things, but you can be sure that db0 would stop obvious bot activity pretty fast.

And regarding AI - it's not that we go out into the fediverse and proselytize. We have a few communities regarding GenAI, but the opposite is the case: we had to implement a rule to stop external mass downvoting and brigading in those communities, because instead of an discussion about the image generated, external users started (always the same) discussions about how evil GenAI is.

So, no blocking necessary, except the communities you don't want to interact with :-) Have a nice day :)

It's not "a few communities" it's every community unless explicitly stated otherwise, according to the mods.

the "fascist propaganda" they are talking about:

in other words, he's equating my joking about his insinuation there is a "pro AI crusade" with a genocide against him.
