    Luckily it is typically too small to be much of a bot target. I don’t subscribe to world news subs though, dark places.

      It’s usually only the news subs. But if you make claims that counter Kremlin propaganda you can sometimes summon them.

      Like if I just Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine, it won’t (why? Beats me). But if I say they are killing ethnic Russian Ukrainian citizens as well as Ukrainian men, women, and children, then we have a good chance.

      I got others if it doesn’t work.

          Why you people always gotta take everything as black and white. I use “bot” interchangeably with “shill.”

          Edit: I see no one found the humor with switching the actual thing that is black and white in his statement (“Everyone I disagree with”) with the “bot” and “shill” thing.

            “shill” implies payment, Lemmy is just way too under the radar for that kind of engagement

            And by the time you have shills the network will be drowned in LLMs already. The latter hasn’t happened, it’s pure paranoia to think the former is anything to be concerned with.
