   Ten years ago was laughable

   Now ….. it’s happened

   We need a min post karma requirement for subreddit

3. Ironic that you posted that here, r/ireland is the epitome of a bot-led subreddit. The Irish in real life are in no way like the bootlickers here

4. Whaaaat? You mean all my r/ireland friends are actually bots?

   I’d be crushed, if I had feelings instead of an LLM algorithm…

5. Trolls to the left, bots to the right

   

6. Isn’t that what happens when Amazon and Microsoft open data centers in Ireland? How is internet traffic being defined here

7. My sympathy emulation parameters could not possibly be tuned lower.

8. I am so mad when I read all this BS – its true BS and … there is simple solution developed ~30 years ago – why we wont just implement it – its 2 clicks away … PGP

9. I’ve noticed it on reddit a few times. Generic looking comment with some detail doesn’t match up with the post at all, if you click through to the profile and they comment every three minutes with a very generic comment with maybe one in ten having something that doesn’t fit what they’re replying to. I assume farming up a “normal” looking account to use for advertising/propaganda later.

10. As a child I always dreamed of being a baseball

11. I said twenty years ago, eventually everybody is going to come crawling back to Teletext.

12. that would be an ecumenical matter
