its not like we karma farm on lemmy

that's exactly what the comment i'm responding to is doing. it contributes nothing and serves only to inflate the poster's ego and piggyback on upvotes on the comment it's responding to. admittedly that works a lot less well when it's not on a platform that artificially inflates votes on frontpage content.

no one knows if its just someone trying to try out online communication for the first time.

if they're new to it, all the better they be pushed into good habits out of the gate and not be rewarded for shoveling slop onto everyone's plates

"underrated comment" "came here to post this" "so much this" i swear to fuck if we let this community turn into reddit 2.0 with trite nonsense indistinguishable from bot posts spammed all over every comment section then i will never forgive you motherfuckers who let it happen by trying so hard to be nice.

MKULTRA was the result of Allen Dulles's hypno kink.

not only did they gut the API for actual people, they carved out exceptions for "low volume users" to keep the bots inflating activity

now they've literally stolen from the people who paid to support the site in the first place. absolutely shameless

still, i'm shocked to read that his survival instincts wouldn't overcome his conditioning. that doesn't happen by accident, his captor knew what he was doing.

Mr Bin Omran told his rescuers he had at times seen his family from his prison, but claimed he had been unable to call out for help “because of a spell that his captor had cast on him”, local media reported.

i uh... huh.
