Reddit has had subredditsimulator for years, stuff like that has been around a lot longer than the general public realizes. Could easily create a believable version of asklemmy, like you said. But the people who would want that are probably not the people who even bother responding to posts in the first place.
I hope Lemmy stays obscure enough to avoid the AI onslaught for a while longer, every major website is already completely overrun
Big instances might be doomed, but ones small enough for folks to “know” each other might do better.
…And that may come with stuff like restricting submission rights to server members? So bots don’t, say, have incentive to build up a “legit” account then post spam.
I think LLM systems will make great automods and mod assistants, too, to help them fight it. Obviously there’s a lot of hate for such things now, but I think that sentiment may settle.
