Half of Lemmy is controlled by Ai and bots. Don’t make “Ai hate” your entire reason for doing things.
It’s less ai hate and more the straw that is breaking the camels back there has been a lot of stuff Reddit has been doing that led me to this take
reddit has rapidly become somewhere you go for need, not for want
ie: a particular linux sub, only as needed.
Ideally the subs you follow there, will appear here in time, but the problem with that is that the people will follow, and this (to a degree) will become that.
if the straw took you until now to leave Reddit………………
Yelling at people who finally did the thing you've thought they should do for a while is counterproductive.
Telling me that is… pointless.
you're confusing it with reddit which is truly half is bots.
Lemmy is half bots too I’m afraid.
Yes but mostly labeled and primarily contained within certain boundaries - some users, whole entire instances (lemmit), and communities. And arguably, a bot that is properly labeled as such is not a problem, especially when you can automatically filter or otherwise distinguish such content (e.g. PieFed provides numerous tools for this).
Meanwhile, Reddit is a lost cause in this regard.
