May, in Reddit seems to be scrambling behind the scenes to try and limit the effects of the migration. Damage control: ChatGPT bots are spamming pro-admin, astroturfed comments
@May@kbin.social avatar

Hello i hope you dont mind if i post that post, in case someone does not want to go onto reddit:

r/Save3rdPartyApps
u/attackofmilk

Subreddits are starting to see spam from anti-protest, pro-admin ChatGPT bots
Thread on /r/Pics discussing bot spam. (Pics is now NSFW, but this thread is only profanity / vulgarity.)
/r/pics/comments/14puynz/chatgpt_bots_are_spamming_proadmin_astroturf/

/r/Programming closed (by admins?) after community recognition of bot spam:

Ycombinator thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36361247

Top-voted post from /r/Programming before it closed: https://web.archive.org/web/20230611210834/https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/146wn9s/meta_who_is_astroturfing_rprogramming_and_why/

(I would have just crossposted the top thread directly, but this sub forbids crossposting NSFW posts (which is now everything on /r/Pics )

Good idea, thank you

sadreality, in Reddit is a dead site running

Google searches is seo trash...

Reddit is bots, shills, and feds...

Why would an organic person participate in either?

Sure fedi is way smaller but discussions are prime quality. I post here way more since this where you can have good discussions.

No ragrets at all! Not even one letter! My biggest problem is trying to figure out how to manage all of the similarly named magazines and communities.

@eggest@kbin.social avatar

RIF was my Reddit app of choice for like 10 years, will miss it for sure :(

aeternum,

Same. RIF was great. Such a perfect app! RIP RIF

keeb420,

Yeah I had premium for so long I don't remember buying it. It sucks to see but remember fuck u/spez.

aeternum,

I had premium too. It was well worth it for such a great app.

Duranie,

I’m unsure what the glitch is, but I got something weird. I’m also getting the unable to load message on RiF, so I was getting ready to delete the app. As a sentimental moment to say goodbye, I clicked to log out. Then bam - pages start loading? I can browse Reddit but can’t interact. Is this just some cached glitch?

Carobu,

Even up to the last day I really thought Reddit would see the light. Oh well. I’ll miss how perfect the design of RIF was.

Annoyed_Crabby, in I still appear on Google and I edited and deleted all my comments, this is BS!

I think it’s in their cache or something. During the blackout they will still show your comment on private sub when googled

Sidenote: anyone have better way to edit all comment? I tried using power delete suite and it only edit some but not all my comment

Redact.dev

solrize, in I needed a world-news aggregator to help me get off that other site so I made one

Too many pictures. It looks like a meme sub. I’d rather have sth that looks like Hacker News or lite.cnn.com. That is, very compact, and pure text. I’m glad if it works for you though.

@SoPunny@lemmy.world avatar

I’m another text fan, but love that people are developing tools to use the fedi in a variety of ways, so people can process the information their own way.

So thanks and good luck

I haven't deleted mine, but I no longer visit the site. I mostly nuked the content on my account a few years ago. Sure there's some stuff now, but it's nothing important. I'm just leaving it there for convenience.

That said I'm mostly moving off of corporate owned media. I put links to my new stuff on my accounts on those sites.

I feel sad looking back over what reddit became. I don't regret any of my actions in response. And even if I did, my actions were reddit's fault; they'd get the blame, so I'd still have nothing to regret.

I won't contribute to a website that treats the people who built it the way they did, so their choice to treat their community and app devs that way directly resulted in my actions.

Madison_rogue, in Reddit demands moderators remove NSFW labels, or else
@Madison_rogue@kbin.social avatar

Yet this little hidden gem rests at the bottom of the page after the article.

Volunteer-made project that fights bots on Reddit is shutting down

Grab some popcorn, the bots are coming.

notavote,

Please come to lemmy, we will need BotDefende pretty soon.

DannyMac,

As a biological language model, I disagree.

This feels a bit like Reddit is that city planning guy who insists on opening the Ghost Containment Unit in Ghostbusters.

e_t_,

But Reddit does have a dick: its CEO.

Royal_Bitch_Pudding,

Peck was a part of the EPA and had legitimate reasons to investigate them.

Venkman was a dick and didn’t cooperate with Peck’s investigation, so Peck got pissed and went nuclear on their ass cause he thought they were charlatans.

The guy who actually flipped the switch even told Peck he’s never seen anything like that and didn’t want to do it.

I really wonder about bot synergy. How many haiku’s will one not write that another will correct the spelling on and a third find that all words are in alphabetical order?

RoboRay,
@RoboRay@kbin.social avatar

Then another bot will repost the original and start the cycle over again.

Tygr,

I was just going to say this. Holding on to the illusion of power as a major moderator is about to turn into a shitshow. Even Reddit themselves have been caught using chat bots to sway public opinion.

Reddit has decided to make every bad decision (favoring profits) possible, all at once.

crystalcorvid, in Does anyone regret deleting their Reddit account?

I haven't, this time. But I don't use it. I have been on Reddit exactly five times since the protests began and only two of those were on purpose. The others were by clicking links from here that I didn't realize went there. The two that were on purpose were related to doing a data request and checking on it.

I have deleted a long standing account before and didn't regret it. I just switched to an alt. My current account participated in some long-tail mental health support, some of my comments and posts get responded to months/years later thanking me for help. I am not so petty that I would remove content that may actual help someone.

You're a good person - thank you.

I started routinely deleting my comments anyhow after someone creeped me out by searching through my history for ammunition to use in an argument. I just deleted the five or six recent ones I hadn’t done yet, and that was that. I’ve kept my account because it might come in handy at some point, but I’ve only been on Reddit once in the past few weeks.

No regrets. No interest in going back. The future is federated.
