I swear to god the people arguing against the fediverse are fake, their arguments are so unimaginably bad that I can’t imagine they aren’t coming from a disinformation campaign
The ELI5 thread yesterday where someone was asking about what was happening looked very similar to this. Nearly everyone in that thread was saying the reddit app was great and people woild be back after the protest. The upvotes just seemed fake to me, is all. One upvoted comment even said the apollo dev was lying, which confused me. Was that spez? Who knows.
That essentially how I see the internet lately on mainstream platforms… You see a lot of posters are basically putting out the most toxic crap imaginable that you essentially learns not to look at comments in certain communities particularly the News website. From all of that experiences, you can see how “Dead Internet Theory” have a lot of merit especially now that “shadowbanning” is common.
Fake it till you break it
Feels kind of like learning about some unpaid traffic tickets that OJ Simpson has. Shitty thing to do, but it’s not the main reason I hate the guy.
i wonder if all this big social platform will not end with lots of fake profile feeded with chatgpt. For your information, I’m NOT a chatgpt comment 😜
I get your concern! With AI tech getting better, there could be more fake profiles run by chatbots like ChatGPT. But platforms are fighting back with verification processes and content moderation. It’s not all bots out there, so stay skeptical but trust they’re working on it!
