Yep.
80 comments in under an hour.
Thousands of words, hundreds of paragraphs.
peak...energy...
Where are the responsible adults (mods)? This is a clanker-free space! 😭
It's quite blatant and yet lemmy users will just upvote anything if they like it.
Who? The X account or OP? How can you tell?
GalacticWaffle is churning out multiple very long comments per minute and is one hour old.
Scanned the comments. Not seeing anything weird except the output, which is more than a little suspicious.
What would be the point of such a thing?
My guess: they come from a reddit "mindset" where it makes sense to start collecting karma to then sell the account or use it for some specific purpose. Since Lemmy - afaics - does not have the concept of karma, it just doesn't make sense.
We don't have totaled upvotes but I guess a really popular user could have influence. There are shockingly few contributing ATM.
But I often think, were I paying someone to influence public opinion, I'd fire anyone who said they put effort into lemmy.
I just looked at their contributions. It's easy to miss the timestamps which really give it all away. The comments themselves read very casual, not even pushing for any sort of ideology. Shit, AI is getting "better" all the time.
