It’s kinda annoying opening the community and seeing posts made only by a single person bot that posts so much that actually genuine content get suffucated, i think we all know who i talk about (if not, it’s Sanitation), they don’t even link the original post (which i know it’s not obbligatory but cmon…!)
I can block them though so it’s only mildly infuriating, though, it makes genuine posters have less comments (and so discussion)
Please, if you are a mod and read this, i ask to take action and if you are not a mod, please feel free to discuss about that with me and everyone else
I’ve been conflicted about Sanitation for a while.
On one hand, it’s more content. I open Lemmy, and I see a dozen articles that wouldn’t be there otherwise. Sometimes they interest me, and I read them. In that case, I suppose I should appreciate that it was shared at all
But on the other hand, all those posts rarely turn into conversations. Sanitation isn’t hanging around to talk about what they found, they’re already looking for the next batch of posts to steal. I’ve put a tag on them, so even if I do end up reading one of their posts, I avoid voting and commenting. At worst, I’m talking to a robot, or at best, I’m just yelling into the void.
They just posted an AI slop image of cats in a PC tower masquerading as a personal post of something that really happened. That was enough to convince me to block.
Yeah. Leaving other people’s posts in first person definitely makes it feel much dirtier.
“The meow technician on duty” - is a post in question.
Nowhere does it claim that its my personal post. Where is the first person post ? https://lemmy.today/post/59058512
Additionally - if this is AI, then it could have fooled me, I cant tell image is AI sorry.
Yeah, tbh the whole point of Lemmy, which is a thread centered platform AKA: a lotta of conversations, totally go fuck itself with bots…
It also is the only source of content for c/shittymoviedetails but those tend to be hit or miss with a bit more misses.
