    I would believe you, but it’s very possible you’re a bot and everything you just said is an AI trained to say this in order to make people reduce their doubts about your user authenticity.

      Or you could go and look at the three years of post history the community has, which notably does not revolve around some herculean effort to gaslight a tiny handful of people from sites that did not exist for 90% of hexbear’s existence and that no one had any realistic expectation would ever exist.

      The entire theory rests on the idea that [insert bad country] had LLMs that were five years ahead of the curve and the supercomputers to run them, and this was devoted to generating massive amounts of content on the speculation that maybe someday it would provide legitimization in a fringe internet community, instead of using that massive technological and material advantage to spam as hard as possible with infinite free burner accounts on mainstream social media sites.

        LOL try to be a little more realistic of a bot, no human talks like.

          If you really thought they person you were talking too was an AI, you wouldn’t be trying these snarky jabs. What, you think you’re going to hurt a computers feelings?

          started off by dehumanizing us for our pronouns and now you’re dehumanizing us for the way we talk. Truly a shining example of liberal tolerance amerikkka-clap

          So you’re just gonna double down on the “actually my shadowy enemies are both impossibly more technologically advanced than the imperial core, but also too stupid to use that advantage and instead waste massive amounts of effort specifically in preparation to gaslight me, the main character, due to their impossible prescience that one day I, the main character, would be using a fringe social media website in the middle of the night, prescience that is literally only used for that one purpose and that purpose alone because it so import to trick me, the main character,” theory then?

            Buddy the Russians have tens of millions of bots on every site they’re not just trying to get me.

            both impossibly more technologically advanced

            The chatbots I’m seeing from you guys aren’t even all that realistic.

              Congratulations, you’ve successfully gaslit yourself into defining away everyone who disagrees with you as a “bot” and now find yourself haunted on all sides by your shadowy enemies.

              And for everyone else: what do you think the odds are some of this unfortunate poster’s brainworm infestation was seeded by literal CIA/State Department astroturfing bots? I give it about a 50/50 that that was an important infection vector, and a good 90% chance that they’ve nodded along while looking at CIA copypasta bot and uncritically believed whatever racist thing it was telling them to.

                Remember that time it was leaked that Mi5 was running a bot farm out of a disused mill?

                The British state had (has?) a literal propaganda mill.

                For months leading up to the general election, you’d see the same comments in their tens, sometimes hundreds, popping up to defend Boris Johnson. And the same same copy-paste comments attacking Jeremy Corbyn.

      Prove it or fuck off. We have 280 thousand posts and 3,67 million comments. Find something proving that we’re bots. Shouldn’t be too hard looking at our older posts given how Russia allegedly had to train us for 3 years to get us up to standard.

    • I wish I could go through life like this as well, damn. Never ever have to entertain the thought that maybe someone else’s wacky opinion is sincere and has a solid foundation to it, but nah man, it’s just a bot. Seems a lot less stressful.
