There’s no intent to stop the bots. I’m convinced Reddit is in bed with Thiel just like Discord.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
Peter Thiel and Sam Altman were some of the earliest investors in reddit (2014 funding round). Alexis Ohanian shared board seats at Y Combiner with those guys. Of course they're together.
Honestly like 80% the enshittification we're seeing can be traced back directly back to late stage Y Combinator and Sequoia Capital decisions.
Yeah I admit the thought crossed my mind that providing some sort of verification would fix a lot of crap on the internet but I sure as fuck don't trust Huffie or anyone sympathetic to this administration to have good intentions.
LMAO. Good luck with it since Reddit is literally flooded with bots right now.
Each day that goes by, I realize more and more how much of a favor Reddit did for me by banning me permanently.
These tech folks are the single worst group of people I've seen yet. Totally high on their own farts with delusions of grandeur. I hope they get put in their place soon. They're literally fucking scum.
Sounds great for Lemmy usage stats?
Bot's won't have to provide face id, obviously. You can buy our new bot-license for only 3 dollars per month.
You'll probably have to pay in Dogecoin, or Sam Altman's shitty WorldCoin. Sam wants to assign you a wallet by scanning your retina, so that tracks.
hahahahah! no.
A ton of the bullshit on Reddit is from teenagers.
