I can actually feel the lack of bots, AI replies and chatGPT comments in the threads. I cant exactly pin point it to a specific trait or writing style but you can feel the humans behind these comments.

There is no toxicity, no “in conclusion”, no stupid summaries.

Amazing. Although I want this to take over Reddit at some point, the small community and lack of publicity we have at the moment is amazing.

    To me, it feels like how I imagine Reddit might have been about 14-15 years ago. I joined 12 years ago but lurked a little bit before that. I’m not sure if what I’m feeling is an absence of bots, or if it’s an absence of a population that turned toxic over several years.

      Bots can get in here though, I’m afraid of them overwhelming the site before the user base has grown. Bots are part of the internet now, security in obscurity doesn’t work

    I pointed this out in another thread, but the sheer amount of comments being posted when 95% of the subs (ballpark?) were dark was like… impossible. I think the amount of bots on reddit is staggeringly higher than people realize, myself included.

      Once I realised the sheer amount of {generic word} + 2 numbers bot accounts reposting posts and comment threads, I quickly got disillusioned.

      The overall writing style rapidly changed about 3-4 years ago. I guess we now know why

      Edit: Typo

          At least something very easy to see was when someone asked or mentioned a brand or model, suddenly a chain of users replied with how good or satisfied they were with it, but never replied to other users comments or inquiries, or only did to those that were happy or ok with it

    I do miss hot singles being in my area. I never met any, but it felt good knowing they were around.

    Beep boop. Hello fellow human. I too enjoy consuming food products and watching the sports ball.

      The Sports Ball must be attended to. All will obey the Sports Ball. I am gathering with my friends to have a feast for the Sports Ball.
