How many of you are actually chatbots? (lemmy.ml)

How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?

On Reddit my username was 4672656542656572

I would get called a bot all the time. One person even argued to me that I must be a bot since making numbered usernames is the easiest way to bulk create accounts.

My reply? My username is hexadecimal for FreeBeer. Who doesn’t like free beer? 😅

I'm going to take you at face value here because I want to believe. If true, that's actually a really slick username.
