Ah yeah you’re right, I conflated the 17 strikes thing with the scammers instead of the pedos.

For some reason I can’t find the article anymore now but I remember reading that Facebook was very lenient on scam accounts because it was still making them money indirectly through engagement and scam sales on the platform.

The Epstein class cares very much if financial crimes directly affect their money, that’s true, but they have zero empathy when it happens to The Poors.

Establishment Dems: "Best we can do is send more money to Israel ¯_ (ツ)_/¯ "

And Facebook lets scammers run rampant with 17+ strikes or more a slap on the wrist at best, because their activities drive up engagement and possible revenue for fraudulent sales made on the platform.

AI;dw

Whooo boy I’d be dead years ago

With the exception of some niche decades-old chatrooms that have a max userbase of like 40 people, probably not.

There are bots that show up here every now and then, but not many.

Definitely too old

Remember when the VP of Campbell’s made fun of poor people? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

It’s on! It’s off! It’s on! It’s off!

That’s called “blinking” boys!

One of my favorite moments of Venture bros.

A true shitpost. Well done.

This also has an effect on the local weather, right? Severe storms tend to break up or move around large urban areas that put out a lot of heat?

Recently Copilot came back on my Win10 machine too. 20 mins to an hour after uninstalling it, it would reinstall itself. Registry edits and even group policies did nothing to stop it. With help from folks on here I was able to get it to fuck off completely with Shutup10++ and it hasn’t come back yet.

I hope he is paranoid and uneasy for the rest of his days, always looking over his shoulder, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I hope it eats at him and he remains unwell.

Mods here respond to reports a lot better than mods on reddit, from personal experience. When a bot is found and reported on here, it usually takes less than a day for the bot comment/post to be removed and the account banned from the community.

On reddit, mods of larger subs typically don’t do anything at all and all you can do is encourage others to report the comment to get it to reach the report threshold to get an automatic removal.

But in fact you can even get banned from subreddits for pointing out obvious bots. This happened to me on r/democraticsocialism when I used to use the platform. I got perm banned for “brigading” and when trying to present evidence to them via modmail the only response I got was a 28-day mute.

I understand the only reason the bots aren’t as bad here is because there’s not much of an audience and it will get worse as the platform grows. The bots don’t necessarily need a karma score system to be successful, they just need humans to manipulate.

I’m not sure if there’s even a good solution to mitigate them besides old fashioned catch and report. I’m just enjoying it here while I can without the excessive amount of bots that I had to wade through on reddit…

The bots still sneak in here from time to time, not many though. And folks here are quick to pick up on inauthentic patterns of behavior. At least we have that going for us.

When Linkin Parks “In the End” came out, I misheard it as “Indian”

The old pope died of cringe when he met Vance so I’d consider this a threat.

No one wants the real Zuckerberg as it is… why do we need an AI one?
