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:

[–] inasaba@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

^ GOT 'IM! This here bot!

[–] DreamySweet@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

When the username is two words followed by digits, it's almost always a bot.

no please dont especially if you frequent technical subs

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I heard they've been just restoring comments... or reverting them if you use something like shreddit.

[–] CapnMoisesBKind@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How can you tell that’s it an AI generated comment?

[–] inasaba@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

  1. Comment length. Their comments are always less than two lines long.

  2. 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."

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

A subreddit about TEMU.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

They can defederate from hexbear. But that's up to each instance individually.

It sounds like you are having trouble accepting that reddit is purely a human user driven, anonymous, and beneficial social media company. I can help you with this issue. Try subscribing to new subreddits. Reddit has thousands of niche communities that cater to anything from cooking, to animated dragons having sex with motor vehicles, to racism, or even knitting! Users are encouraged to post and comment based on a point based system, and moderators of each subreddit work diligently to not only uphold the quality of content, but to tirelessly clear all bot posts as well as any extraneous and subverting advertising. These methods of organization and attention to detail create cooperative and helpful communities that strengthen society. If you haven't tried using reddit before, download the Reddit app today and you're sure to make friends and see cool stuff!

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.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

are you neurodivergent or is english a foreign language? for some reason those folks tend to get labeled as bots.

[–] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Astronautical@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Guess i just don't get why everything needs a fancy new label every few years.

[–] Astronautical@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In this case, it's mainly a catch-all for folks to easily find help and or others with their conditions.

[–] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, so much easier than being precise in your ailment.

[–] Arcane_Trixster@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

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".
