    Starting to really be able to sniff out the AI propaganda bots. It’s not just defending centrism— it’s the LENGTH of their responses.

    They’re always a wall o’ text

      I’m pretty active with talking to users here and haven’t noticed any AI bots, though I also do the wall of text bit.

      Would you care to elaborate?

      Edit: Well, to be fair, I could have paragraphed a little more effectively.

        Hahaha all you gotta do to get a human is respond to one of their walls & call them out on being an AI. Then they go grab a representative to waltz in & make it seem like they’re not

          You could at least try to be civil. I am still curious as to what your original reply meant though. Are you calling me centrist? I am communist, how in the world could I simultaneously be centrist? Furthermore, I wasn’t — as far as I’m aware — stating any kind of political opinion with my original reply.

          Please, I beg you, elaborate. I would appreciate that a lot more than jumping to conclusions.

            Nope, got the type that encourages or demands endless replies with the goal of wasting my time. Seen it tons of times, straight outta the cia playbook. Can’t fool us 😘

      One of the nice things about Lemmy is that people are willing to actually discuss things with multiple sentences and even paragraphs (gasp) rather than it being a fire hose of quips and one-liners.

          The microblogging format is truly awful. I’ve seen professors and incredibly smart writers get into childish feuds with each other, because the format almost encourages it by rewarding dunks and gotchas.

          Forcing people to try to communicate over text without paragraphs, or any way to make themselves more clear, is not a good system.
