Define “high quality” in this sense for me please
Comment on Bots increase online user engagement but stifle meaningful discussion, study shows

Exactly what the big platforms want, and exactly what’s different about Lemmy. Low-volume, high-quality interactions

Real humans writing full sentences. Some platforms most of the comments are emojis or reaction gifs.

You realize that the only reason Lemmy hasn’t become so enshitified is because the user base is too small for the corpos to seriously target it yet. The day Lemmy has more than a million users the army of bots will not be too far behind.

At least they’ll never find a complicit management. Still it doesn’t matter, I’m going to enjoy this space while it’s nice :)

The cool thing is that instances can decide on their own if they want to tolerate that or not

Idk man, back in November the place was pretty enshitified. Not sure if it was just left wing nut jobs but anybody with a political position even close to center or right got about 100 downvotes and got called a Russian troll or worse.
Since then it’s been a lot better though.

Enshitification. I don’t think you know what that word means.
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I know exactly what it means so no need for your condescending comment.

That will be only possible, if said companies will create their own instances, maybe even with ad support. Without that, all we gonna see is some corporations running said bots to promote their products. Just wait until someone is looking to but XY, then answer it with some semi-personalized with AI text to promote your own products. This can already happen with human-run accounts, but I’d choose some small business owner stumbling on Lemmy over a bot that AI generates me a response.

It’s not enshittification, but there’s a bunch of crappy rss bots on lemmy reposting low quality content pulled from various feeds. I feel like they’ve abandoned and been left to run creating internet litter around this site. I’ve started blocking them because I’m not against bots as a concept, but poorly written or with bad sources they can get pretty tiring. One of the things I appreciate about diggs $5 account fee is that it’d hopefully limit the amount of spam on the site.
