There’s a shit ton of upvote bots and subs had free gold to give out all the time.
Admins like it because it looks good to advertisers and idiots think buying gold is normalized
Mods like it because it boosts sub visibility and got more subscribers
And some users chase karma so theyre onboard too.
There wasn’t much authentic about reddit
Is there any problem with the statement that the far-left is trash and sucked as much as the far-right?
Only if you don’t have an issue lying, if you’re fine with lying, I guess you wouldn’t have an issue saying that…
Ever heard of horseshoe theory?
Yeah, it’s that thing trumpers and “moderates” constantly talk about. There’s no logic or facts to back it up, but they sure love repeating it.
I have a question tho, why are your only two comments talking about how “nazis aren’t really that bad”?
Elvis was though, he dyed his hair
Yeah, wasn’t the first time, won’t be the last.
Rich people always assume they know better than the plebs.
It’s hows they justify treating everyone else like shit.
It’s the result of Prosperity Jesus.
They believe they’re wealthy because they have natural talent. It ignores lots of people are more talented, and never got the same opportunities to be successful.
In a real apocalyptic disaster, they’d be the ones real leaders sentence to death (either overt or shunning them from the group) to set an example for the rest of the group.
Yep.
The first thing they taught us in my graduate level statistics class was:
Anyone can make a statistic that backs up their bias. You’re here to learn how to accurately represent a situation with statistics, and be able to point out when others are misusing statistics
That’s the hard part
Even if they do, every article about Twitter comes with:
Twitter responded to inquiries with the poop emoji, as they do every time.
This is worse, because reddit is saying if anything was wrong, they would have responded. So it looks like reddit just agrees with anything that doesn’t get a response.
How funny would it be if it leads to a shit show where actual journalists start demanding their fair share of advertising generated off their articles?
Reddit can beat mods because of money, but these giant media conglomerates both have money and are hurting their own advertising numbers because 99% of redditors never read the article. They have motivation and opportunity to get legal
Why is half of it asking for investments?
Wouldn’t it be a better idea to just link the actual Daily Beast article
Pretty sure they’re out of air by now.
Even if they made it to the surface, you can’t open it from the inside. There’s no rescue mission, just recovery
They navigated by getting text messages from the ship…
That’s fucking insane when you’re going miles under the sea
Reddit does it with Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr…
Some of the bigger communities is literally just screenshots of what people say other places.
It would be pretty funny to see an instance that just pulls posts from subs and posts them to Lemmy. Not direct links to reddit, just copy the link/pic/video
One time I made a main level comment, then replied to one of the most upvote comments in the same thread.
Seconds later a bit replied to me with my first reply, except for some reason it cut off the end. I don’t know if the bot ran out of characters because it was a cheap bot, or if it was an attempt to avoid automated detection.
Bots were a huge problem long before AI started trying to have conversations.
We all joked about it, but a lot of the accounts were really fake, and they usually got sold to advertisers after amassing enough karma and post history to look authentic
