    Honest question: Would we gain anything by bot placing questions into discussions with certain topics in it? Like foreign governments astroturf for their interests, we could instead ask questions under specific comments:

    „The mods are gonna delete this.“ sick of getting your stuff deleted? Have you tried lemmy?

    „Imagine shilling for corpos“ have you tried leaving corpo land? Have you tried lemmy?

    Etc

      Honestly, posting anti-Reddit stuff on Reddit, and even reposting articles about the impressive, yet ineffective stuff we did last summer, just feels like fishing for approval from strangers.

      It’s like breaking up with your ex and talking about them constantly for the next 6 months. You don’t need to show off your new girlfriend to them. You don’t need your friends to tell you how great it is that you broke up. Just move on.

        I agree on the girlfriend part although most people on the web only have theoretical knowledge of that.

        But posting influencial content is just a tool. Its morally ambiguous which makes me wary of it but the question is if we are willing to take measures to help people get out of there.

        Its a philosophical as well as sociological question imo.
