I didn’t mean to rail or express outrage, I just don’t care for content or engagement that doesn’t have an author.
I think what sets lemmy apart, other than the our superior protocol, is the high quality of genuine interactions. I’m not interested in personally sacrificing on that for anything.
Like I would call this a high quality disagreement right here—I’m fully bought in because I recognise your username from other threads and recall you have meaningful things to say that I believe are genuine and may actually change or alter my opinion.
It’s not that I disagree with anything the other account was posting, but that I believe they’re faking engagement, they give off influencer vibes, and I’m not in lemmy for either of those things.
I mean, I’ve seen people calling them a bot but I’ve interacted with them and I don’t see what other people see. I don’t get it.
I agree that interactions on lemmy tend to feel pretty genuine, and part of that is because we’re mostly humans here. I wouldn’t want to change that, but I also wouldn’t want us to devolve into bickering over who’s really a human. If the content is good, I don’t see what the issue is. Especially if it sparks further discussion in the comments.
Your third paragraph is kinda flattering. I tend to think I run a little too hotheaded at times, but maybe it’s just because I waste too much time feeding trolls until they start getting under my skin. But it could also be that I have some form of online dysmorphia, and only remember the times I went overboard that eat away at me for days after. Either way, it’s nice to hear someone values my input.
I see your point about it not being about the content of the post but about who or what is behind the account, or what their motivation might be. I just don’t see why anyone would bother trying to be an influencer on the fediverse, because it doesn’t offer any incentive. No ad revenue, no partner sponsors, no karma-based content boosts, so no reason to farm engagement only to sell the account like what happens on reddit.
I mean some accounts do seem to try to astroturf an agenda, like all the week-old accounts we see pop up during election seasons, but that’s not what this seems like to me. I could always be wrong though.
