Needed a pickling mix recipe I remembered only vaguely, but before I navigated to the community that held it, I noticed how horrifically botted the front page was. I did a cursory account check of the posts on the top sort and found that nearly half of the front page was comprised of bot posts or bot boosted accounts. Which is, under no uncertain terms, horrific.
Lemmy has its issues, but how someone could see this toxic landfill and choose to plant their flag there, I don’t understand. Glad to be amongst the people who cannot tolerate this.
wait how do we know these accounts are bots?
I left because I felt like everyone I talked to was just trying to create anger engagement, or was just using Reddit as a source to vent their rage virtually, anything I said I would get bombarded by putrid hateful responses, so I’m here now and people are pretty darn nice, even if we don’t always agree.
