Reddit is the self-censorship dystopian site that they want you to accept. Don't.

Do You have these at Your country? Here in Finland several, like 3-6 groups, that every few months like " test" Youtube members.

They have " homely" names , almost 100% AI images, they seem to be twofolded; both spreading gossips or " odd storyes" and also seek eldery people, who could later be targeted by phone " money scemes" of various sorts.

I'm shure, where funds come, but usually , they wan't people feel enough " frustrated" orr " angry " to share the content to their friends.

Occasionally pleasant , so viewers not feeling suscipious.

Clearly made for persons that are easy to manipulate.

When major proggress at Russian attack to Ukraine, they also are most active.

What I can understand, these kind of accounts , could potentially be used, when conflict, votings or other need to affect nations general opinion.

I just realize, that My country; Finland , is so small,

that very little to gain.

Do You have these, most likely Russian backed account rings at USA too ?

I see a very common misconception regarding bots online a lot and i wanted to clear something up.

A statistic might say "50% of content on reddit is posted by bots".

This DOES NOT mean that on any given thread 50% of comments are bots. In fact you probably often see comment sections without any bots.

Bots will target certain subreddits and communities. Making 100 bot posts is faster than making 1 genuine post.

So of course its easy to outpace genuine content but that doesnt mean you actually get to see the relative percentage of bot posts.

If you go on a sub gor Pron advertisement then you will see more bots than on a sub about philosophy. Political subs will be more botted than a sub for a trading card game.

A lot of bot posts are just spam on unmoderated subreddits no one uses anymore that you never see.

My point is: Just because 50% of content on the entire website is bot generated it doesnt mean that 50% of the posts and comments you see while scrolling on here are.

For my own mental health, I’ve decided to assume that any stupid/rude/depressing comment is from a bot meant to demoralize people. Maybe it’s a juvenile way to see the world, but with the increase of fake accounts (there are more bots on some platforms than people on earth) and this being a known tactic to manipulate people, I’ve just decided to assume that everyone annoying online is a bot. It’s been pretty nice ever since I started just ignoring stupid people and assuming they are fake.

Obviously some annoying people are real, but it’s just easier to assume they’re not.

I really into social media, I tried western mainstream social media, asian mainstream social media, imageboards, explore .onion .i2p webcites, opensource social media etc.
But the problems always are the same, ia, bots, shorts videos, in "good" cases, degeneracy and hate in the worse cases.
What do you think?

you all full of bots and like greeders want attention and fake people get the hell outta here with this stupid stuff grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I opened the reposts list in my profile and found hundreds of reposts that I've never reposted. Some of the posts were posts that I "liked" and hearted, but would never repost. Some are posts I've simply never even come across. Sometimes its the posts of people that I know, and it looks weird that I'm reposting their photos.

I've been a Twitter/X user for almost 2 decades, and I'm 30/mentally sharp... my memory is not at risk. I've been spending all morning manually deleting these reposts and it still stretches to 2024. This should be unlawful .... claiming engagements on my behalf that I've never made.

Dead internet theory has found its final boss. I might just delete this account altogether.

I am actually fed up and done with instagram. Every post has one top comment from a random account which is private and is with zero posts and small following/followers. Idk if i am the only one who is noticing. They almost always type fake/fraud/negative things about that respective post.

Are you noticing this too? Why is instagram doing nothing about this?

Insta reels, reddit posts, news. I don't know if it's real or made by AI. There's no easy way to tell.
