I don't regret making an X account, the main board had been driving me nuts for months and this place doesn't get enough traffic unfortunately.

I'm here for video game talk so I've only ever visited kia2. Been so little of it recently.

And most of the posters don't notice. Wonder how many of them are also square profile pictures?

Not that this is shocking, but it's good to have hard evidence.

ETA: Moderators removed the post so they can't pretend they don't know. https://unscored.arete.network/c/TheDonald/p/1ASGIxomEj/

While also providing the original link at the same time like a responsible data source.

This sounds like PANICAN speech! BYE BYE, ACHMED! I honestly can't fucking tell if it's literal bots, or if they hired fucking Jeets for shekels, but the place has fallen off hard the last year or so.

Which is why he should cruelly and mercilessly be mocked and derided.

A set of three words uttered so often that it's one of the prime candidates for an AI to repeat.

Best comment :

Mods, do your fucking to jobs. Unless it's an Israeli bot then I'm sure you're good as long as the check clears. And of course, it's stickied.

The archive link leads to a post on patriots.win that begins with "Square profile picture Libs of Tik Tok" etc. suggesting the post wasn't made by a person but instead was automated through AI scrubbing of Twitter. A person would not have started their post title like that unless they wanted to look like AI.

The post was stickied despite the clear AI involvement, but more importantly, the user has more than a million post score, suggesting it's been an undetected bot for years and/or deliberately used by the mod team there. Mod team itself may be botting or AI.

Seriously wonder if the tweet starting with 40% messed with its scraping.

Probably injected an escape character somewhere.
