Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Disclaimer: It's different screenshots cut and stitched together into one, not every comment is like that, but its a majority of them. These are all in the top 30 of the top-level replies.
I was just searching though subs to see their opinions in immigration... holy shit, this is major sub that often has posts going to the front page. This is yet another reminder why reddit sucks.
If Lemmy was as popular as Reddit it would get flooded with bots and turn to shit in no time
That's true too I guess. Everything on the internet gets ruined.
Sadly I think in the next 5 years, as LLMs get cheaper and more accessible, there will be nowhere left like this. Nowhere that you can have an anonymous old school conversation using a text interface with the expectation that you are talking to real people.
Maybe there will be some magic anti-AI tech, but I can't think of a way you could implement that without trashing anonymity.
It's called an EMP device.
I think small private groups of vetted members are likely to become even more popular if that's the case. It would be a shame for search and discoverability, but if an open connection to the web leads inexorably to bots you really can't tell from people...
Kind of overstating it but it would be like an internet dark age in a way. Most conversations encrypted, unarchived, known only to a few. Like you were saying, conversations like this, on the open web, just wouldn't happen anymore if the internet is just for business, shopping, etc
Bring back webrings!
Make an alliance of instances to vow to ban these bad-faith actors.
Those instance who refuse get warned, then defederated.
We'll have a small circle of safe spaces for people who want equality, then for those brave, you can venture out to the hostile defed-iverse by making an account out there.
That's what fediverse is, not every instance will connect with each other.
Yeah that's how I see it too. If the fediverse becomes mainstream/commercial then I'm happy more people are off the big closed platforms, but I don't want any part of the pro-capital ad culture if they start reproducing that here.
