I’m really hoping the Lemmy community reaches its potential! But to achieve that, I realize it’s important to contribute to the content. As a chronic Reddit lurker, I’m going to do my best to comment and post to help this platform grow. It’s hard to break the habit of being a creepy voyeur after 10 years. Wish me luck!
Yeah, reposting bots have been rampant for a while. And I assume chat GPT and the like are about to make that problem WAY worse. That situation alone could cause a massive quality problem on Reddit. If a decent portion of active (human) users leave (or have already left), that would just magnify the issue.
I wonder if there is a threshold they’re going to hit where they hit a death spiral due to legitimate users leaving en masse. Hopefully.
On the other hand, people are creatures of habit and I could see Reddit surviving despite bots/ai/and associated quality issues.
