Welcome! There's a lot of actually good content on here if you avoid Hexbear and lemmy.ml.

I go back and anonymously browse Reddit sometimes and it feels plastic.

[-] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago

Feels plastic cause it's full of bots. I seriously hope the niche communities don't get chocked to death with bots. But I also see that many went to discord... which I'm not sure if it's an improvement TBH.

Yeah, I saw someone on Lemmy showing screenshots two posts that were copied exactly from like 8 months ago except for a single new legitimate comment. It's wild what LLMs are doing to online interaction and honestly.... this is just the beginning.

Conversely, if you want less cheap comments like this one you should not.

If you want to avoid specific instances, it's best to go to an instance that defederates from those instances. That's the power of the Fediverse - you get to choose an instance that aligns with your values and moderation style :)

Avoiding them myself is great, but long term I'd love do see the Fediverse succeed. We need to shut down propaganda if we want it to be viable. There's no corporation or organization running the show, it's us.

[-] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 3 points 6 months ago

The way to shut down propaganda is defederation and diligent moderation. That takes some actions from admins and moderators, who as you note are mostly volunteers. So do your best to support your local mods and admins in doing that or volunteer yourself :)

Agreed, well said. I hope the fediverse can really become a good thing
