while Lemmy scratches my post reddit itch, this is one of the down sides. Everyone goes to Reddit, despite it being an AI Bot filled shit show, so you never get the same visibility. At least around here you get a better quality of poster, and you don't need to select your words quite as much.

Search engines direct you to Reddit as a first page - even first result - choice. It's superceded Wikipedia in a lot of cases.

Which tells you organic human generated content is increasingly rare and here we are probably the last unpolluted corners of the human experience outside the non-online local experiences.

:-/ I seriously doubt that.

At some point, we'll have to find a better way of sifting the wheat from the shit. But I'd be crazy to assume bots around bouncing around the Lemmiverse pushing misinformation just like they are everywhere else.

That’s the worst part of Reddit. The absolute toxicity and superiority complex you see in these giant subreddits. 1 wrong word and everyone comes after you based on 1000 assumptions from that 1 word.

It's not that bad, Lemmy still has a long way to go if they ever want to be something close to an alternative.
