I know Reddit now has a stupid rule or policy about new accounts posting or commenting. They punish new users for just trying to have a conversation. Why does Reddit hate privacy? Is it just in the system trying to filter out bots? Well, it is doing a shitty job since bots are still a high percentage there. Reddit banned me, even when I was on the new user friendly subs. I tried with multiple locations with a VPN too. This has to make people go to other platforms. Like I did, I moved here.
The majority of traffic on reddit is bots. Its scary that its getting harder to tell. They’re probably sticking AI chat bots in there too.
I assume over 50% of users on there are bots.
Me too. And in the political subs, I’ve read estimates it’s more like 80-90%. Tho it’s impossible to know for sure what the % is.
I don’t know what would stop lemmy from the same fate or worse. Just a matter of time.
I received notice of replies to some posts of mine of FOUR years ago. I assume bots scraping the barrel.
I had a guy reply to my 8 year old post once, seemed legit
