How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?

I have not seen any obvious chatbot posts on Lemmy, outside of jokes like the top comment in this thread. Whereas by the time I left Reddit I was finding and reporting 2 or 3 per day. This could mean

  • no-one's seriously deploying chatbots yet on Lemmy
  • the chatbots here are better than the ones I saw on Reddit, or at least different enough that I can't recognise them
  • the parts of Lemmy I see, and the parts where bots post don't have much overlap
  • I was actually a bot all along
