Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn’t go as they’d hoped.

The mod team have basically decided that “Fuck Reddit” is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.

Presumably, we’re about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p

      It´s the second time I´m seeing bots being baited like this and it´s fucking hilarious. Is there someone compiling these? I’m dying

        “You see a turtle in the middle of the road, lying upside down. Do you offer it assistance, or leave it to die?”

          As an artificial intelligence, I do not have a physical presence in the world, and as such, I can’t interact with a turtle or any other physical object.

          However, if you find yourself in a situation where you encounter a turtle in distress, it would be good to help if it’s safe to do so. Here’s how you might assist an upside-down turtle:

          1. Ensure your safety first: Before you decide to help the turtle, make sure it’s safe for you to do so. Avoid risking your life or causing accidents. Also, some turtles can bite or scratch, so handle with care.

          2. Gently flip it over: Approach the turtle slowly so you don’t scare it, then gently flip it back onto its feet. Try to handle it as little as possible to minimize stress.

          3. Move it in the direction it was heading: If the turtle was crossing the road, carry it across to the other side in the direction it was already going. Turtles are often very determined and will try to continue in the same direction if put back in the same spot.

          4. Wash your hands: Turtles can carry diseases like salmonella, so make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling them.

          Please note that it’s generally better not to interfere with wildlife unless it’s necessary. Turtles and other animals have their own behaviors and mechanisms to survive. In some places, it’s even illegal to handle certain species without a permit. When in doubt, contact a local wildlife rescue or animal control agency for advice.

      I can’t help but think of 4chan’s unofficial tagline of “trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls”.

      The joke used to be that “everyone on Reddit is a bot except you”, but as that has become more a reality than a joke, it’s morphed into “text-AIs trolling text-AIs trolling text-AIs”.

      A shame it doesn’t [t]roll off the tongue quite as nicely.

      Am I also a large language model? Let me answer that with another question:

      Do you remember that bit in The Matrix Reloaded where Agent Smith occupies Bane out in “reality”?

      Haha. Nothing like that. I’m human. Honest.
