I was commenting on a Japanese sub to guide them to Lemmy and my comment becomes “[ Removed by Reddit ]” after a few seconds. Was this always the case?

    I’m convinced that the vast majority of r/askreddit threads, including the comments, have been copy/pasted for years

    I’ve seen threads that are the same replies in the same order as they were in previous years. I know a lot of this is just people posting what they know will get them comment karma, but I have a hard time believing that sub is for real. It’s such low quality, predictable content

        I remember that. There were some people really dedicated to exposing bots, and almost every thread in r/all had some harmful bots

      In the last couple months, every sub I was in got noticeably more spammy. Scrolling through and just “repost, repost, repost…” or obvious AI generated garbage. I’m very new to Lemmy (today is my, uh, cakeday(?)), but it doesn’t seem to have these issues to the same degree.

        I’ve noticed that, too. The flow of content here is slower, but it seems like much better quality overall, and real humans.

        Happy whatever day we call it here!
