It feels much more human on Lemmy. Reddit was mostly bots and training models. Do we have any statistics for Lemmy on percentage of bot users posting to the platform, who pretend to be human?

Sometimes I miss chatting with the bots on Reddit. The platform always kept you emotional and scrolling. All the gore, violence and other sensationalistic content. All the arguments arguments arguments always against you. It was a plastic experience.

Reddit gets a lot more votes and comments.. but I think the number of people actually talking to each other is about the same. Most the comments are just noise.

My last year of Reddit (prior to the API purge) was very much filled with low effort comments. You get a lot of votes and comments but the votes don't matter and the comments are largely empty one-liners. I doubt it's gotten better since I left.

I'd say even the assholes on Lemmy put more effort into the comments than Redditors do. Except tankies who just love to flood the comments with their copy paste list of sources for "everything".

The votes matter even less here, so there's no reason to drop empty one liners you think might get karma.
