Comment on Bots dominate internet activity, account for nearly half of all traffic

Thinking about starting some kind of anti nazi LLM bot. The purpose wouldn’t actually be to spread propaganda, but rather to just let it argue with all the nazi bots. It would kind of make the internet even worse, but I’m legit so tired of Meta, Twitter, Reddit etc. not doing enough against hate speech and fascist propaganda. My only concern is that it would definitely also harass people who actually make sense and who are against Nazis, but the bot is too stupid to understand.

I actually have done exhaustion of right-wing trolls before, and it does work as a tactic against them, and I had the correct psychological mindset to derive amusement from their exhaustion until they just give up with me. They have to use bots because they know most people do not support them, and it is not maintainable for trolls to respond to people 24/7.

Very interesting! Just wondering how bots get around anti-bot mechanisms. My problem with social media is that they make it seem like all this nazi stuff would be a mainstream opinion, and I agree with you that it’s actually not.
