It seems to me that over the last two weeks, the Lemmy experience has been worsening. My front page and communities are filled with Reddit re-posting bots.
While this gives off a feeling of being active, it’s like a ghost town invaded by AI.
But if I block these bots, I also take the risk that I’m unable to participate in actual conversations between non-bot Lemmy participants.
Maybe we should also keep being vocal about this. Individually blocking bots won’t change things for other people. And we’re in the process of establishing culture and behaviour on this platform. I personally think we should keep complaining and establish a culture of original/genuine content and not let this become a second-hand reddit copypasta. I like something meaningful instead.
