[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (9 children) How do you know? What are the lemmy telltale signs? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] Nythos@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago Highly disproportionate post to comment ratio is usually a good telltale sign permalink fedilink source parent [–] vin@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 year ago* (2 children) Very high number of posts, very few comments, for this user. An average user with a genuine question or sharing will engage with other users. Although with LLMs, there are bots that reply too, in the writing you'll see AI failings, not human failings. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] otter@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) I don't think cm0002 is a bot. From what I remember, cm0002 makes a lot of posts to grow various communities, some of which are crossposts in between communities with similar topics. Although this account looks different from the one I remember, so maybe this one is an alt. I personally don't find that behaviour to be harmful unless it's fully automated or a fire hose of low quality junk. If a human is picking out the content to post, then it gives people something to discuss and vote on. I'm likely biased myself since I also schedule out posts with another account @otters_raft@lemmy.ca. I do that since this account is an admin account, and so I don't want to risk any issues if the scheduling tool goes haywire. I do check it about once a day and respond to comments when appropriate, but overall the post to comment ratio on that account is pretty lopsided. We DO get harmful bots too, and they get downvoted/reported/banned very quickly. Those are pretty obvious since they post spam and ads in unrelated communities. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] vin@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago I feel in this case, "TIL" should be personal (it's not a cross-post too).
