Stumbled across this screenshot. Now, instead of judging people for yourself, the computer can do it for you!!! This will in no way be used negatively by Reddit nor people who are arguing with each other. Original post is here, if anyone still has Reddit maybe go spread the good word of Lemmy and Piefed to these users :P

    The same way that you can look at someone’s post history, skim it, and more or less understand what their deal is.

    Most users on reddit don’t have this diverse set of interests or posts. Most of them post on the same subs and repeat the same types of posts… ad nauseam. Most people, online, aren’t much more sophisticated in their language use or POV or anything… than a bot.

    Sure, 10 years ago you’d look at someone’s post history and it would be all over the place, and they’d be writing detailed and nuaced paragraphics in lots of detail… but that’s not what reddit is like anymore, or most of the internet really. God I remember when libertarians actually had decent theoretical argumentation to defend their viewpoints… and now it’s just memes and cliche phrases repeated over and over.

    Pretty easy for any LLM to parse a person who just incessantly posts about the same stuff over and over. And if it came across someone doing long-form explanatory stuff… it would just ignore that data since that doesn’t fit the task LLM is designed to process.

      If you want to relive the old times there’s a few of us minarchists libertarians that migrated over here. But yeah most of us got banned from /r/libertarian back in 2014. I’m still pretty sure it was a Russian govt backed op. Whole mod team was purged twice. Once all of us troublesome posters who would point out that all the new talking points were antherical to personal liberteries and freedom we were muted it devolved rapidly.

        It’s all about controlling the narrative.

        Anyone who doesn’t comply with whatever the narrative is gets banned. Whatever the political ideology is, it devolves into ‘true believers’ vs everyone else, and the true believers are the ones who have no idea what their ideology really is other than shouting slogans and issuing purity tests on their fellow members.
