memes

Bots are using the narcissist's playbook: accuse others of your shenanigans.

This same idea was posted with this same meme template within the past day, right? I'm not having deja vu? I can't find it anywhere.

This is exactly what an AI would say.

i (Pepperidge Farms) remember

dead internet theory 2, electric boogaloo (solipsistic edition): i am the only real person on here

Funny, they said the same about .world!

Damn .ml users! They ruined .ml!

And we know what one specific viewpoint we're talking about. Lemmy is so deeply infested with it now with the exact same bend that it's a disgustingly obvious disinformation campaign and voter suppression tactic.

You're doing the thing in the meme

And we know what one specific viewpoint we're talking about.

Dang it! I'm always out of the loop.

Mfs never heard the word epistemology.

Sorry I legit don't know who you are talking about

The other important point to make:

It’s normal to view wild ideas like troves of automated users with some skepticism. But consider: Foreign entities would likely have a huge incentive to destabilize domestic elections. If you were them, and had plenty of spare personnel, and A.I. resources…what would you do?

I definitely get why, but people have been paranoid of interacting with bots, shills or astroturfers for as long as the internet exists. Calling someone either of these without asking to elaborate on their comment is just adding to the polarisation and intolerance of our platforms.

Often when I try to talk to people with wildly different opinions they just come back with those insults because "who can ever disagree with my opinion? They must be trolling."

So I definitely blame people for jumping to the wrong conclusions.

Man, this is the best bot genetated comment i've read in a while. Which software did they use?

Actual context because the other comment (e: the prettybunnys one) is clearly showing some bias:

[email protected] is constantly in turmoil against itself regarding some US electoral stuff. About once per thread (no joke) an argument gets to a point where one person accuses the other of not being human because they just can't fathom how different their positions are. This also spreads to other communities but I generally find !politicalmemes to be the primary source. (e: This also is common on .ml communities unless I am mistaken. I just am not exposed to that much since my instance does not federate with .ml.)

(Disclaimer: while funny, don't do this kind of attack without real evidence; it's generally frowned on by mods as uncivil.)

HAHA, AGREED FELLOW HUMAN!

Yes we are all definitely humans who enjoy human activities like breathing oxygen
