No one cares if stuff that's also on reddit gets posted here.
Memes often get posted on multiple platforms. Recycled. Reposted.
I post stuff I got from other places. I post stuff I made too but mostly it's images I found elsewhere. No one cares as long as it's funny or whatever and it isn't being spammed.
Many of us are not using reddit at all anymore. So we aren't seeing it there anyway.
People care if they know and they blindly upvote if they don’t.
Accounts dedicated to reposting recent upvoted Reddit content is unhealthy for the fediverse.
Why is it unhealthy? As I said. A lot of us don't use reddit. And memes are posted on multiple platforms. That's normal.
Why would it be healthy for ai powered accounts to repost reddit content here?
I can understand people doing a couple a day but when you have dedicated accounts doing hundred a day exclusively you’re fooling yourself if you think it’s okay.
Is it bot accounts or just people posting things they thought were funny. ?
A few ways to identify bot accounts.
High activity in new accounts.
High posts to comment ratios.
The account only posts and never comments.
But that criteria doesn't include ai chat bots or sockpuppet accounts. They might post comments.
For instance. 2 day old account with 10 posts in mostly similar communities like News, world News, politics, u.s politics. Etc. especially when posting the same articles in these different places.
Activity occuring during 24hr cycles. With no 8-10 hr breaks. (Cause humans sleep).
Activity in one or two specific communities only.
Abrupt changes in community activity. For instance the user has been posting exclusively in political communities for a few months than switches to humor community and completely stops participating in the old one.
This means the bot has been reprogrammed.
Now people get bored of communities or get banned. So they move on to others. But I'm talking about a history of exclusive posting.
I'm convinced there are multiple accounts promoting AI slop on Lemmy that's started recently.
AI slop usually gets 50 downvotes pretty fast. But I'm seeing aI slop with 50 + upvotes after only being up for 2 hours. Meaning bot accounts are posting and upvoting.
This is , imo, intended to normalize AI slop. And stop the stigma and hate that it rightfully deserves.
It's just a few accounts posting AI.slop a few times a day or one a day but consistent. That's not how humans behave.
But I'm just providing this example as to how I consider accounts as bots or not.
A motivation is an important part of bots. If they aren't pushing a narrative than they could be just building up a history for later use.
It's harder to spot an older bot account with 2 years of random activity.
Older accounts sell for much more for this reason. People who take the time to look at the user history won't find much evidence it's a bot if it's 1 year old with lots of random posts in different communities.
