Needed a pickling mix recipe I remembered only vaguely, but before I navigated to the community that held it, I noticed how horrifically botted the front page was. I did a cursory account check of the posts on the top sort and found that nearly half of the front page was comprised of bot posts or bot boosted accounts. Which is, under no uncertain terms, horrific.

Lemmy has its issues, but how someone could see this toxic landfill and choose to plant their flag there, I don’t understand. Glad to be amongst the people who cannot tolerate this.

This shouldn't surprise you, Reddit announce its partnership with an AI company like 2 years ago.

    Surprised? That’s not the right word. “Disgusted” is closer. It’s like going to the grocery and seeing someone smoking meth at the bus stop across the way. It’s not surprising in the least, but by Jove does it sadden me. Particularly when half of the stop is filled with people smoking meth.
