Fediverse feels like the last place on the internet with real people.
Yes indeed, fellow human.
How do you like your soft skin?
Mine suitably covers my skeleton.
Oh no, I've been doing it wrong this whole time???!!!?!?!?
Hello fellow human. I can confirm that I enjoy having soft skin which suitably covers my skeletons. From my research, nearly all humans prefer keeping their bones wet. How do you ensure your skeletons remain adequately moistened?
Moisturize me!!
The bots still sneak in here from time to time, not many though. And folks here are quick to pick up on inauthentic patterns of behavior. At least we have that going for us.
We like our stupidity organically grown, thank you very much
I think smaller, more "local", tight-knit communities (on the Internet, but also increasingly back offline) might be a good response to bots which work better in larger communities.
Other than 4chan, the fediverse is the easiest social media to manipulate.
The admins here at least don't cooperate, but they/we also don't really do anything to stop it. We don't have the tools to stop it that Reddit and others do.
When you get banned on Reddit, you typically need a new IP and new email in order to make a new account that doesn't get instantly banned. Here you don't have to go through all the trouble.
The bots here will grow, very soon.
I'm thinking if it gets enough people on it, some entity(ies) will find a way to ruin it.
(Spoken as someone that remembers USENET)
Yeah.. There's nothing inherently about the fediverse which blocks bot accounts.
bleep bloop
I wonder if he's paying them from taxpayer money.
Good question
Nah, I'm sure he's properly grifted the money first and then pays out of pocket.
This propaganda flood is gonna melt so many people's brains.
Shits been cooked for a minute now.
"The left says Republicans aren't united"
Where?
If anything, Republicans being united backing straight-up evil is the problem. The only time Republicans aren't united is in the end when it's face-eating leopard (or First They Came For) time.
