I can actually feel the lack of bots, AI replies and chatGPT comments in the threads. I cant exactly pin point it to a specific trait or writing style but you can feel the humans behind these comments.

There is no toxicity, no "in conclusion", no stupid summaries.

Amazing. Although I want this to take over Reddit at some point, the small community and lack of publicity we have at the moment is amazing.

I do miss hot singles being in my area. I never met any, but it felt good knowing they were around.

As a fellow average human who has 1.999999984 arms and drives to work in a ${vehicle.name}, I whole heartedly agree.

To me, it feels like how I imagine Reddit might have been about 14-15 years ago. I joined 12 years ago but lurked a little bit before that. I’m not sure if what I’m feeling is an absence of bots, or if it’s an absence of a population that turned toxic over several years.

Bots can get in here though, I'm afraid of them overwhelming the site before the user base has grown. Bots are part of the internet now, security in obscurity doesn't work

In conclusion, no AI bots is an amazing feeling

Beep boop. Hello fellow human. I too enjoy consuming food products and watching the sports ball.

The Sports Ball must be attended to. All will obey the Sports Ball. I am gathering with my friends to have a feast for the Sports Ball.

As an ai language model, I'll have you know that it's inappropriate to refer to me as a human. /s

I pointed this out in another thread, but the sheer amount of comments being posted when 95% of the subs (ballpark?) were dark was like.... impossible. I think the amount of bots on reddit is staggeringly higher than people realize, myself included.

Once I realised the sheer amount of {generic word} + 2 numbers bot accounts reposting posts and comment threads, I quickly got disillusioned.

The overall writing style rapidly changed about 3-4 years ago. I guess we now know why

Edit: Typo

[–] 00@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreed. But while I enjoy it in the moment, Im a bit afraid we could lose it. And Im not sure what we have to do to keep it this way.

Edit: also hiiiiiii
