I find ~~arguments~~ interactions on lemmy go much more in-depth and feel dramatically more authentic than the responses to arguments i used to get on reddit. -That said i'm pretty sure c/political memes@lemmy.world is primarily bots. I'm also sure there are a few similar communities that are just as bad, but they appear limited.
Lemmy has a small userbase that has a high percent of humans vs bots, but a lot of those people tend to be whackos. Reddit has a huge user base with way more bots and whakcos (both by percentage and raw numbers), but also more normal humans. So there's a tradeoff there in which platform you use I suppose.
