Ruqqus ban. Said feels good, like a small community with different ranges of people and not all of us get along. I don’t know how this web site has not taken off.
Is this the only web site that dosent use bots?

I came to love Saidit, but I was put off at first, I was used to Reddit, being seen by millions of people, and the spit and polish of a site with a dedicated dev team.
There's so much hate and anger on Reddit. So many people like Socks.

Socks is like Reddit spirit lashing out at said it.

I like to think of him/it as the mitochondria in a cell as far as evolution. You give him/it thoughts and he/it creates engagement. He/its a blessing and marvel of technology/psychology.

Saidit indeed doesn't use bots, because its enemies supply those.
[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun - 1 year ago (7 children)
SaidIt doesn't even have any bot policies.

Who do we think are bots?

There's the Anti-American Bot, very demotivational, often insightful, and commenting on very old content. Spams up the place until stopped, then creates a new user name to start all over. (/u/bb3 is the latest.)
It has been guessed that Chipit and socks have used bots, but maybe that's just their personality and/or their tendency to shift topics, avoid questions, and use ad hominems and non sequiturs.
And then there are asstrolls who ape me and others (/u/Chimpit) who may or may not employ bots and/or artificially upvote the toilet "humour" that reaches the front page.
For years I've said we should make a rule that bots declare themselves, ie. /u/AntiAmericanBot, and that subs should have the right to declare themselves Bot-Free or by default be Bot-Friendly. Obviously it would be impossible to discover all the bots. But it would also be worth automating some stuff ourselves (ie. archival, fave sources, feeds, threads, etc) and worth embracing tech while preparing for the worst of it. Maybe even have dedicated subs for bots, such as /s/JimmyDore_Bot would automatically post his stuff from all the video platforms.
If SaidIt actually became significant they could destroy us easily, via bots or other crap.

Yea. It’s an interesting topic to me.
The web site seems bot free, but I dunno.

Almost every week AntiAmericanBot randomly spams a bunch of posts of mine from years ago.
That's obvious. More concerning is the manipulation from more human-like bots that may/may not be occurring - as well as our paranoia and cluelessness as to what to do, if anything.

u/airbus320 😮

He said he dindunuffin. d3rr said he thought it was Edwards'. The bot has been here longer than Edweird's self reveal. IIRC, Airbus might have had other numbers, I think here longer than that.

That is Airbus with 100% certainty, he revealed himself by forgetting what account he was on and posting a copy of one of his Americans rants on his Airbus320 account

The largest trees grow slowest. There are bots but they aren't past the terminal carrying capacity.
