Dumb and shitty and even innocuous content can proliferate way faster with bots I'd assume. It's just making the whole experience lower quality and bums me out. To have been on early Internet and to see what most of it is now. I guess I'm just old person yelling at clouds age now.

These are so cool! I've wanted to get into some aquarium + living plant situation but I have no idea where to start. I am just getting into the easiest house plants. Somehow adding in an aquarium seems intimidating.

Was on the other site when a commenter pointed out a response that and like 5 or 6 replies to that comment that were all bots. I am finally getting exposed to the concept of dead internet theory. So, how prevalent are bots on a place like lemmy? Are there natural safeguards against bots? I'm not an engineer and probably need a dumbed down explanation. But I did make it to lemmy! So I've got that going for me...

That's called a homophone.

California is contracting its own insulin supply and it'll be available for $11 a pen starting Jan 1, 2026. I know not every state can or are willing to do this but just throwing out some examples and hopefully optimism to somehow fight the American decline from within it. We're in a unique position as our state economy is larger than most countries but I am hopeful we will throw our weight around to counter the bs. https://www.chhs.ca.gov/blog/2025/10/17/governor-newsom-announces-affordable-calrx-insulin-11-a-pen-will-soon-be-available-for-purchase/
