For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

That comment has both em dashes and en dashes. Consisting how the rest of that list in it is written, there's no chance it's not written by an LLM. At best this means the sub, like much of Reddit, is chock full of bots, but there's also the possibility that these are real people unwilling to traverse to the ends of their own skull.
I thought that was weird, but chalked it up to them being the kind of nerd who'd care about using em dashes in a Reddit comment.
Those em and en dashes really are the quickest red flag to spot LLM content, is there a reason why the models love using those?
Pure conjecture but maybe the tech bros liked them so much they pushed the thing to use them as often as possible. I can't imagine the training data being filled to the brim with any particular punctuation.
