    If they're getting paid to do it, they're just meatbots.

    Why you people always gotta take everything as black and white. I use "bot" interchangeably with "shill."

    Edit: I see no one found the humor with switching the actual thing that is black and white in his statement ("Everyone I disagree with") with the "bot" and "shill" thing.

    "shill" implies payment, Lemmy is just way too under the radar for that kind of engagement

    And by the time you have shills the network will be drowned in LLMs already. The latter hasn't happened, it's pure paranoia to think the former is anything to be concerned with.
