Pretty sure you legally have to tell me if you’re bots or not.
In all seriousness, is there any way if knowing if we have bots on lemmy or not? Is it just vibes based? Im of course referring to undercover bots pushing agendas, not automation/meme bots finding haikus and shit.
You’d be surprised how many people simp for authoritarian regimes for free because they think sucking off
AsadKhamenei is sticking it to the man <insert ML bullshit about imperialism here>True, and humans with bad opinions have always been around, but let’s not forget that, by definition, the auth-left authorities have access to a significant amount of centralised resources that other lefties don’t, which would theoretically allow them to amplify the sound they make as they slurp on that boot.
Honestly I don’t think they have much infrastructure, what they have online is more time, while the rest of us are out supporting our neighbors or trying to have a meaningful impact on the state of the world, they’re busy glazing Al-Sharaa.
But even on Lemmy their takes are unpopular, they’re just visible because we don’t filter them, and they get an initial boost because we (normies) are busy living life, while they are busy on their discords (🤔 weird how they use the same tools as right wingers to “organize”) telling eachother where to post their way to the “revolution”.
