    I guess I’m just a boring person, I have nothing really to say or share that is post worthy, but I try to contribute to discussions when I can.

    I am actually quite annoyed at the reddit repost bots, they drown out Lemmy content in favour of Reddit reposts…

      Exactly. Lemmy is a social media platform, not an archival service. People come here to talk to people, not bots.

      I agree. Reddit repost no good. But normal post bot ok, bring in interesting subjects

      • @[email protected]

        fedilink
        6•1 year ago

        The repost bots were probably needed to kickstart Lemmy with content, but now I feel like they are preventing a natural growth of the communities.

        As it is now I feel that they add a layer of confusion to new members, they have made several Lemmy communities looking like vast empty cities, there are new content, but no people commenting or voting.

        If any admin is reading tjis, please consider scaling back the repost bots.

      I didn’t even comment for a long time because of the requirement to use a real email instead of disposable. I didn’t even have a real email on Reddit and I created that account long after it was popular (but before they required real email accounts). Imo Lemmy cracked down on potential fake accounts too soon and it is costing them growth.

      Registration, especially requiring legitimate credentials is a huge barrier for many people who would otherwise post.

        I’m sorry but I don’t really see it being that much of a hurdle with services like SimpleLogin where you can activate an address, create an account and then deactivate it again. Or am I wrong here?

          Lemmy.world’s faq claims they will ban you when they eventually find out you used a service like that.

    Maybe we could use AI to generate new and original content?

    Since that might produce too much content for anybody to read, upvote and engage with, we could cover the user side with AI bots as well.

    If we do this right we could completely automate social media. Maybe one day you won’t even have to look at your phone because an army of bots is doing it for you.

      Someone that needs a topic for their CS dissertation could do this.

      Setup their own Lemmy server and train an AI on the fediverse. It would be funny to see if the AI agent’s posts/comments converge.

      This.

      But also, don’t just post useless crap like “This.” Or one-liners. Or the most annoying shit ever, which is when people just type out lines from a song, as if they’re singing them in person. Like dude, we know you just googled it and copy-pasted that from Genius.com. Don’t spam me with your bad pun threads either please.
