Pretty sure you legally have to tell me if you’re bots or not.

In all seriousness, is there any way if knowing if we have bots on lemmy or not? Is it just vibes based? Im of course referring to undercover bots pushing agendas, not automation/meme bots finding haikus and shit.

    You’d be surprised how many people simp for authoritarian regimes for free because they think sucking off Asad Khamenei is sticking it to the man <insert ML bullshit about imperialism here>

      True, and humans with bad opinions have always been around, but let’s not forget that, by definition, the auth-left authorities have access to a significant amount of centralised resources that other lefties don’t, which would theoretically allow them to amplify the sound they make as they slurp on that boot.
