So, I get that someone is trying to populate this community with posts using the lemmit.online bot. And that the vast majority of us are coming from Reddit. And that AITA is a staple community that we’re used to seeing in our feeds.
However, it seems like that just copying content into an otherwise empty community is just feeding a sterile wasteland. There is almost no engagement on the copied posts, and worse: I think it will smother any actual new content that gets posted in this wasteland of copied content. (I stand corrected, after trying to post this there I found out that only mods have priveleges to post. It’s worse than I thought, and I’ll probably just block it from my feed if it’s only a Reddit echo chamber)
What do you think, AITA?
Plus who are you helping? AITA is about engagement with the person involved.
Helping someone not be an asshole, or reassuring them that they aren’t.
I don’t see the benefit of reassuring a bot 🙃
Not yet at least… Just wait until AI gets out of the LLM stage and starts to become sentient.
AITA for ending the human species?
