What subreddits did you visit where discussion is with bots?
I still use Reddit every now and again for aviation and a mobile game (where there is an official company presence). Most of the discourse is genuine.
Now some of the more general subreddits, that’s garbage.
I get my news and politics from Lemmy now and, if anything, the experience is better. In fact, I seem to be more up to date on Canadian news.
I’ve found them periodically in r/worldnews, r/politics, and they are easy to spot on anything related to Gaza/Israel, Russia/Ukraine or things like crypto and finance. That’s where to go if you don’t want to look too hard. The other day I’m pretty sure I saw the same comment reposted several times across the same subreddit when sorted by top by year, something really generic with the same slightly off punctuation along the lines of “This community is the best!” It is really interesting to see actually. Most of the time their usernames are the randomly generated ones.
Any tips for telling bot accounts?
Generic usernames, the randomly generated ones, newer accounts, especially since the rise of ChatGPT and when they were gearing up for making Reddit public. Look for ones that do not really add substance and often argue for arguments sake (not to be confused with a troll). It is a vibe too. Knowing how these things are made helps, look into AI agents, and kind of knowing what trolls actually are too, for that check out this book.
Ah, I generally avoid the big subreddits because they are low quality.
