Interesting case. Pretty formulaic and prolific poster, and odd to post three top-level comments, but I also sometimes post multiple top-level comments.

I think there’s a strain of bot designed for a particular type of account (human at first, then converted to botnet drone) that tries to mimic the previous comments’ style that’s particularly prevalent on reddit, though I’ve not found any hard evidence, or seriously investigated it really. More of a hunch I’ll follow up on one day. I’ve just accepted that the cost of being charitable to other humans on the internet means occasionally taking a bot at face value. Happens on fedi from time to time. Reddit though, the bot:human ratio just feels too high. Makes it not fun for me to engage, I just feel like I’m talking to ChatGPT. Which sucks, because I know I’m wrong at least some of the time, but… 🤷 whaddya gonna do.
