how do I know that you guys are real and not bots?

How do we know that the people on reddit aren't talking to bots? Now, or in the future? what about lemmy?
Even If I am on a human instance that checks every account on PII, what about those other instances? How do I know as a server admin that I can trust another instance?
I don't talk about spam bots. Bots that resemble humans. Bots that use statistical information of real human beings on when and how often to post and comment (that is public knowledge on lemmy).

tbh i ain't care if you think I'm a bot ot not

Because on lemmy we can observe it, on reddit we can't.
There's a huge ¥ incentive for reddit to operate bots but not for lemmy in its current state.Why can't we observe it on lemmy?

I can point out traffic lights to you if you wanna test me.
I only seem like a bot because I am a total fucking loser with no life.
you're cute tho

Why can't we observe it on lemmy?
The other way round. We can observe it on lemmy

Oops. Reverse question then. Why can we observe it on lemmy? How can we do that? Can't bots operate web browsers? How would they be detectable?

AMBULATING WITH A DOMESTICATED COMPANION CARBON-BASED LIFEFORM IS A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE THAT PRODUCES ENDORPHINS IN MY ALL-TOO HUMAN EXISTENCE.
GREETINGS FELLOW HUMANS!

No bot would post the bizarre and horrifying shit that I post
Nice try, FISTO. We all know it's you.

Chat bots aren't currently programmed to answer questions about color combinations. AI programs like ChatGPT can, but your typical chat bot on internet forums, business chat channels, and dating sites can't.
Next time you think you're dealing with a bot, ask it a color combination question like "What do you get when you combine red and blue?"
"How many Rs in strawberry"

There is 4 Rs in the word strawberry

Because we control lemmy. Any server admin can request PII from the users in order to use site. We can't control anything on reddit. Even if reddit was asking for PII like facebook, we, the people, couldn't know if all of them are actually real. It's shift of trust from reddit to many local server admins

Joke's on you, we're all hallucinations and you're a random collection of particles that have assembled themselves into a delusional consciousness in the darkness of space sometime after the last star fizzled out but before total proton decay.

Really or just joking?
Dude I had an AI death clock predict my death on October 13rst.

Who says it's going to get better?
I'm an optimist.

Does it matter as long as I can pass the voight-kampff?

I like how Mastodon lets you post links to things like your personal website or GitHub, and show a “verified” check next to them if you add something to your site/github to indicate that you’re the owner.
I don’t really use Bluesky but I like how they let you use your domain name as a username.
It probably rules out bots but I assume propaganda/troll farms could still do this.
Another thing I was thinking of is if there could be separate moderation lists that people could subscribe to. Maybe one basic one for “obviously spam”, but others for people who are suspected of being bots. I’m sure there would be abuse and echo chambers, but if anyone can create and many people can contribute to a list, people could just go with whatever list they prefer, perhaps looking at the blocked content itself to see if the list is implemented well.
I think some people used Reddit enhancement suite to tag users that they interact with. I like that idea but have never gone to the effort, and don’t usually read usernames enough to remember people. So a crowdsourced version of that might work.

I feel your relief

At that time, the first second of eternity will have passed.
We'll be back the next time protons happen.
There is no escape.

I think at this point you'd have to visit each one of us in person to be sure.
Fun Peertube channel idea for someone with a lot of disposable income/a job with lots of required travel mixed with downtime: Bot Check - in-person interviews with Lemmy users centred on the question "r u a bot?"
...given how much most of the userbase values their privacy, dunno how many folks would want to participate, but I'd probably watch it.
