I agree, but with so many bots around I think there has been a concerted effort to obfuscate the truth, so it’s a balance for sure

    If you find an unlabeled bot, most admins will ban them.

    So far every time I've seen someone claim Lemmy is full of bots, they haven't been able to identify 1 unlabled bot.

    And its not even hard, there are users that AI slop in arguments, so I think its literally just people wanting an excuse to dismiss viewpoints they don't like.

    I was talking about the internet as a whole, I don’t know the specific security or botness of Lemmy, I’ve not found one so far as far as I can tell. Most users Ive seen have pretty long histories with varying opinions.

    Who is a confirmed bot? Me? What would I say to show Im not a bot? We all use VPNs. Do typos prove you aren’t a bot? Ask me to bake a cake or something.

    Ok. Bake a chocolate cake with cherry glazing. Send it to my address in less than 5 business days or you will be forever labeled as a bot.
