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.
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.
The overall writing style rapidly changed about 3-4 years ago. I guess we now know why
Edit: Typo
How would you characterize the change in style? I can’t say that I noticed anything specific around then.
idk to be honest, got darker. more toxic. more shallow. cant certainly pin point it to a specific writing style
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’m very happy with this comment. It has helped me immensely.
Once I realised the sheer amount of {generic word} + 2 numbers bot accounts reposting posts and comment threads, I quickly got disillusioned.
In conclusion, no AI bots is an amazing feeling
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.
I love watching bipedal creatures kick a leather sphere with their walking organs!
Found Zuckerberg’s account
beep boop. in conclusion you seem like a real human being with emotions.
As a fellow average human who has 1.999999984 arms and drives to work in a ${vehicle.name}, I whole heartedly agree.
I do miss hot singles being in my area. I never met any, but it felt good knowing they were around.

ELIZA has entered the chat.
ELIZA: Is it important to you that the humans behind the comments?OPERATOR has entered the chat.
OPERATOR: [Processing inquiry…] [Analyzing importance variables…] Yes, human interaction ~seems~ is key to emotional interaction with said hoomans.
Agreed. But while I enjoy it in the moment, Im a bit afraid we could lose it. And Im not sure what we have to do to keep it this way.
Edit: also hiiiiiii
Heyy @00 great to bump into you ^^
Small server (for now 👀)
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
As an ai language model, I’ll have you know that it’s inappropriate to refer to me as a human. /s
