Seems like the community with the best chance of a digital protest is winning. Those posts seem to drown out any good content and rendering the sub useless for new content.
News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
“Forum sliding”
Probably get better results if you ask over there instead of here, it feels like most of us don't check back. Personally I do, but I think I'm in the minority.
I guess you might get a lot of bot interaction over there though.
You're probably right, I'm just avoiding it for good now. And guessing the mods would remove any questioning posts from r/programming. R/outoftheloop would likely help, but again, I'm done giving them traffic or content.
Reminds me of the final days of digg when the majority of posts were "sponsored" posts, just as vapid and pointless as this LLM spam.
Probably covertly protesting Reddit. Hope most of the community migrate here
There are a few others I’ve seen but I’m just watching, don’t want to interfere. One place posted to admins a few days ago, there are still people pissed there and I imagine it’ll ge5 worse as the bots flood in.
Wow this is jarring to see. A bit sad tbh ... Kind of like watching an ex struggle or something.
Oh well.
You can probably ask at https://programming.dev/c/meta
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Good bot
Indeed, to be honest I was just lazy
I looked. I'd guess the ones with 0 votes are posts done by bots, possibly powered by AI. The one I looked closely posted and commented to get karma points to get past the filters to post promotions/scams in other subs. The mods, including spez himself, are not doing any filtering. I am not sure if any is done for protest, but I only looked closely at one.

Tbh the "mods" of programming haven't ever done much of anything. Check the sub for even 3 minutes and you'd run into tons of gitconnected spam
Well spez was a moderator on that sub…
Bear in mind that most posts on r/programming would have 0 points anyways because they were shitty posts.
