minus-squarePacrat173linkfedilinkarrow-up171arrow-down2·5 months agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory I didn’t believe this when I first heard about it but it’s looking more true everyday
minus-squareDahGangalang@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up49·5 months agoYeah, even if we’re not quite “there” yet, it feels like we’re at least moving in that direction
minus-squarearymandias@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up6·5 months agoReading the Wikipedia it seems quite unlikely, but then again maybe it’s also written by a bot.
minus-squareLaLuzDelSol@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·5 months agoAs a human I think the Wikipedia article is correct. I’m not a bot (drinking water right now- bots cannot do this).

minus-squarefine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·5 months agoThis gets posted all the time, and it’s frustrating that it lacks any nuance. It’s just a spooky bedtime story… “imagine if everyone you talk to online is just a bot” Yes a lot of online content is generated. Yes it’s getting worse. Yes there’s lots of bots. However… you can choose where you spend your time online, and spend it with friends or likeminded people. What I mean to say is, some communities on reddit are “mostly dead”, but you don’t have to go there.
