/r/programming came back up two days ago and as far as I can tell everything relating to the blackout was wiped. I kinda expected it since spez was admin.
Another thing that surprised me was how much chatGPT bot spam there is (danm it is so so bad, wonder what the mods are doing over there… ah yes, spez).
I used to sort by hot so it was hidden away a bit for me before.
Anyways I hope Lemmy does not fall into the same pitfalls!
goes back into lurk mode

I posted a question on one of theses subs a few weeks ago and had mostly very generic answer that clearly didn’t read all the post. I was confused at the time but it makes sense now, it was the same kind of basic trooblesooting steps by chatGPT. Reddit is doomed, there are way too much bots. We can only hope to find a solution before it spreads to the whole internet.
We’ll have to prove we’re a human every time and log in every time we use a service to be sure it doesn’t have bots. But AI will get better and better at those too. Is captcha the next level above Go? Lol
