(Meta) What's up with the recent influx of posts here and on nostupidquestions asking borderline insane questions as if written by people who have never encountered another human before?
-
Seems like a bot or an edgy teen.
lol, didn’t catch that part

Everyone's saying bots but I think some of it is human-generated ragebait. Like that person who posted twice like "why did my friend block me" with screenshots of them devolving into crytyping as they tell said friend how stupid they are for being autistic.
(I took that bait, don't judge, it was cathartic
)As for why, I couldn't tell you. Maybe they're not getting enough engagement on Reddit anymore or maybe it's not fun because Reddit already hates autistic people and will side with them. Who knows.
What’s crytyping, I’ve never heard that word before

They’re so “usless”

I guess it's more of a Tumblr term. It refers to when someone starts typing really sloppily to signify they're having a breakdown.
I guess it's kind of a mean term but I really think people should walk away from the keyboard if they get to that point.

Ohhh. I mean, she was still treating her friends like crap and that says a lot about her

I don't know whether to be flattered that they consider Lemmy a serious enough platform to farm responses or be pissed that they have infected Lemmy like they did with sites like Reddit.
Definitely the pissed one. It costs next to nothing to farm any particular platform via bots, so why not go for anything that might have niche demographics? Destabalizing leftist groups seems to be sort of a goal of certain other groups these days so..

IM. WATCHING. A MOVIE
For folks wanting a summary. https://lemmings.world/post/21140218/13711785
This is bizarre. I hope they find peace. Idk how to not sound condescending when I say that.

That?

Anything with bullet points is LLM
- I use them sometimes.
- Don't hate me because I like Markdown.

I know 🫂 It’s horrible. You should also read their other posts.
Either this is a bot/troll or she is mentally ill with no empathy.
When you say that about her being mentally ill with no empathy, what exactly do you mean? I'm asking because it's easy to draw a lot of different conclusions from that statement, and I'm trying to make fewer assumptions when I don't know people well.

Thanks for the link. I hope so too. They seem not okay…

That's wild. Clearly AI.
So the value is getting a reputation on Lemmy to then influence or peddle shit?
Or is it a testing ground?
No human writes like that.
Okay I can't figure it out, what makes it obviously AI?

Well, she herself says she has no empathy for others and “treats them like objects”. I said mentally ill because she seems to have mood dysregulation problems, no one is ever good enough for her, and she seemed to openly have a breakdown when she posted to her one friend about hating that she was autistic or something. (The post has since been deleted).

Are you by any chance referring to the user who posted stuff like this?
omg, that whole comment thread is just so incredibly wholesome. i'm a weirdo too, btw, in case anybody wants to be friends

Hello, fellow weirdo!

I don’t mean this in a rude way. Feels like the past week or so has had some bizarre questions asked.
It ain't recent.

It ain't recent.
True, just some users are posting more oddly recently

To quote one of their posts directly: "I view people as more tools than anything, and I’m working on being nicer. I say this with 100% honesty, not because I’m being mean. I still feel like I deserve friends, though.". They also post about calling their basketball teammates useless and about hiding behind other players so they aren't actually open to receive passes (but somehow this is a failure of the team's strategy?)
If it's a real person, then I wouldn't necessarily call them malicious but definitely lacking in empathy. But I'm leaning more towards it being a troll.

Thanks for responding, I appreciate it. What you're saying makes sense.
