Some accounts are deleting their posts after a few downvotes. It's devastating on communities like c/asklemmy.

Lemmy doesn't track an account's karma like reddit. So, all downvotes will be isolated to your post or comment and won't affect your account—unless you wrote something truly horrible.

Remember lemmy is a community effort. Deleting a post also removes all comments on it. So you are not only robbing the effort others put in, you are actively removing knowledge from the fediverse. Others won't be able to find it through search and lemmy will seem lonelier than it already is.

They got rid of r/all and the bot karma farming went super critical.

    It's overrun by AI slop bots too.

    This was the top post of r/aww the other day. Nobody noticed the AI slop. Or maybe all the comments were bots too.

    I fucking hate the current- and probably next-gen slop. Modern cell phone cameras rely on computational photography, since the software based solution of guessing what's there is much easier than expanding the physical optics and sensors.

    But that also leads to artifacts that are very similar to AI-generated bullshit, because both are based on a computer making guesses based on a noisy input.

    I hate that I can’t tell the difference between a cell phone's bad guess and a data center's really good guess.

    A cat taking a piss is the last thing I would upload to the awww sub, and I actually did follow that one on half of my accounts there.

    But what are the other tells now, I take it the pattern is different on the floor in the circled part? I couldn't even tell.

    The last pic obviously the electrical outlet looks wrong but idk,

    The cat in the last pic doesn't look like the same cat either, it's tail is fluffy, and it looks older, than the pissing cat?

    The last pic OP posted as a more recent photo, so the age isn't a tell.

    Look at the focus shift on the cat's body in the last pic. The center of the body is out of focus for no reason. It's because LLMs don't have spatial sense. It doesn't "know" how to maintain realistic camera focus.

    Reddit Is Fun still able to access All and Hot as of 6-17-26 and looking great as ever, but just looking at the titles of the posts make my eyes want to roll into the back of my head. It's all that 'hot take' language from tik Tom or whatever. Not sure how to describe it better.
