I’ve noticed quite a few top posters that are using LLMs or other software to repost news links and images, probably from Reddit, onto a bunch of specific forums. They don’t identify as bot accounts, but they are fairly easy to spot because they are posting a steady stream of posts, around 2-3 posts an hour, 24/7. No sleep periods, just constant posts, at an unnatural rate.

Here’s a few examples I’ve found:

  • @[email protected] - Joined 2 months ago, 1.69K posts, sole moderator of Build A PC [email protected], steady stream of posts without sleeping, only posts on 4 different forums
  • @[email protected] - Joined 2 months ago, 1.3K posts, steady stream of posts without sleeping, only posts on 5-6 different forums
  • @[email protected] - Joined 3 months ago, 2K posts, moderator of 15 different forums only on piefed.world, also a hidden moderator of Beep—[email protected] (yes, with an emdash) with zero posts and zero users, seems to try to evade detection by having some posting breaks in-between

Keep an eye on these kind of posters, and report them when you see them.

    theres this idea among some that they absolutely must not be exposed tp things they dont like

    I swear I do not understand some of you people.

    if we don’t like it, we want it out of our entertainment activities. Like, I don’t know, humans do.

    There’s no more nuance to it than that. I am fed bullshit -> I do not like bullshit -> I remove the source of the bullshit from my experience. End.
