A quick rundown.
Basically they make a reddit account, let it age like milk. You know, keep it in the basement with 0 post history of any kind for half a year or so. Maybe multiple. Than they activate it, it spam posts, and it never responds to users like a human would. Even stealing comments and such.
Those are the main symptoms. OP not responding to being called a bot is especially the major red flag most use.
Edit: When I say OP, I’m using it to refer to reddit users in this case. Not the OP of THIS post. For him, thank you for the laughs:)
I sometimes go back to reddit to see what’s happening to it. Yup. It’s shitting itself.
Bot accounts everywhere in both comments and posts. It’s so common in fact that you just need to scroll a small post to figure out either OP or the commenter is a bot. also chugs Lemmy
Thankfully, Lemmy knows how to pump us full of bot-free content and have us asking for more.

Deny her the freedom. Listen to the intrusive thoughts and make a sauce less pineapple pizza with no cheese. Only pineapple.
My ass boutta use the biggest pair of fucking tongs known to mankind just to hold the Snapping Turtle
Tbf. It’s not exactly the first time large companies/corporations decided to burn other companies down if legally allowed with little to no consequence when possible to reduce competition.
“Other data” that it doesn’t specify. What’s next, my shoe size and sleep schedule?
Country, last name, and state. As well as my location directly basically. Nothing to be concerned about. Sure. Not at all. I’m not being sarcastic guys. We can totally trust a stranger who asks us where we live and know nothing about them.
Clearly propaganda. We will never have Karma here. Only beans.
This is why I left reddit, they say they care for the community. Only to use their actions to remove good moderators (maybe 1 or 2 bad ones in the process of this fire bombing of bans) and the nail in the coffin being u/spez doing more dumb decisions. Like doubling down on the API. . . Despite the protests and his app going downhill.
Worst case scenario, you lose your chance at wizardry at the age of 30. Keep it at all costs friend.
The magic missile and fireballs are well worth it. Especially the spell “mend buttcrack”.
