News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I can't tell ... How can you tell?
Checked the account, here's a clear indication:
That one had me wondering if it was someone parodying a bot. Given the rest of it though, they'd have to be way more dedicated to the bit than is realistic.
Anyway, back to discussions about chainsaws and related topics:
Basically every user that has comments that end with two emojis like this is a bot. Originally they existed to drive traffic to TEMU subs, but since Reddit banned those subs they've become harder to spot. I think the spammers just forgot to turn off their bot farm.
Like this?🎲🎥
^ GOT 'IM! This here bot!
OP is secretly a chatgpt
When the username is two words followed by digits, it's almost always a bot.
Or somebody who picked the random username when signing up.
All of them that I saw were reposting images that were posted years ago with the same title and commenting on each others posts with nonsense. Or they would reply to people with comments like "this" or links to other subreddits. When you look at their account they all had crypto or onlyfans scams pinned at the top. Some may be made of flesh instead of code but they are all bots.
Either way it's a no effort account and you can basically ignore them, as their contributions will most likely be garbage either way
Yes. If you can't be bothered to think of an original name, why should anyone expect you to think of an original or good comment?
How can you tell that’s it an AI generated comment?
I've dealt with this particular bot problem as a mod. Noticing the pattern early on was easy because they always had posts on TEMU subreddits. Now that those subs are banned, it's harder.
-
Comment length. Their comments are always less than two lines long.
-
Tone. They always contain at least one exclamation point, and tend to have a tone that I'd say is "cheery to the point it's offputting."
-
Context. Reading them, a lot of the time you'll ask "did they even read what they're replying to?" The comment seems related, but directly misses the main point.
-
History. Look at the rest of their comments. If more than one ends in two emojis, they're definitely part of this particular bot network.
what is a TEMU subreddit?
A subreddit about TEMU.
Is there a way to prevent them from flooding the fediverse, or will that fall onto the shoulders of mods to find and delete them?
They can defederate from hexbear. But that's up to each instance individually.
Consider deleting all of your reddit content, then nuking your account
no please dont especially if you frequent technical subs
I heard they've been just restoring comments... or reverting them if you use something like shreddit.
I was often accused of being a bot on Reddit. Not sure really why. Though to be fair, the majority of my interactions on Reddit were arguing with people that thought they knew more than I did about a field I've worked in for 20+ years.
To be fair to the other side, it's entirely possible (and even common) to have worked in a field for 20 years while learning completely incorrect things about it. Or learning nothing.
People say things like "I've used a computer every day for 20 years, I think I know how it works" and then ask if they should "reboot the hard drive" and then they power cycle the monitor.
You can also form very strong opinions early in your career and not know when they're now invalid due to changes in tech/industry.
Was getting a quote for a new heat pump and had the guy tell me they were worthless if it got too cold. There have been consumer heat pumps that work down to -15°C with very little efficiency loss for well over a decade at this point. He had just been used to them not being worth it for long enough that he "didn't believe it".
are you neurodivergent or is english a foreign language? for some reason those folks tend to get labeled as bots.
Does it SEEM like I'm neurodivergent (wtf is that anyway, why does everything need a fancy label?), or that English is a second language?
Neurodivergent means anyone with a medical condition that could be seen as brain pathways either being disrupted, or gone, or rerouted. A few examples would be AD(H)D, Autism Spectrum Disorder (Including things such as Asperger's), and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Edit: Changed Autism to ASD, and switched out Schizophrenia to OCD as it's more apt for the term as a whole.
Guess i just don't get why everything needs a fancy new label every few years.
Having proper diagnoses for people help them get care and treatment. It's better than calling them all "stupid" and ignoring their struggles, which has been the case for decades.
Most of these "fancy new labels" you're hearing lately are just recognizing people, so they can be included in society and treated with dignity.
According to the prior explanation, they already had labels. ADHD, Autism, etc. But now it's all lumped into "Neurodiverse" or whatever. Sounds like someone trying to impersonalize others. "oh just lump them all together".
A good amount of the conditions lumped together as “neurodiverse” are either comorbid or share some traits. It’s reasonable people with these separate conditions may still want to connect with each other because of the commonalities between them. Nobody’s forgoing the words “ADHD”, “autism”, or “OCD” for the more generic “neurodiverse”, they only use “neurodiverse” in place of “people who have ADHD, autism, OCD, or [insert other conditions here]”.
In this case, it's mainly a catch-all for folks to easily find help and or others with their conditions.
Yeah, so much easier than being precise in your ailment.
