While browsing the fediverse I come across more and more accounts that seem … a bit off, a little uncanny. The stuff they post seems random, their comments slightly weird. What’s going on, is the fediverse being overrun by bots? Or am I as a fanatic anti-AI person just losing my mind and seeing the enemy everywhere?

I hate the fact that I now question every interaction that seems a bit off - it seems such a stupid waste of my time and I’m afraid I might just end up blocking real people who happen to express themselves in a strange way - as a neurodivergent person I know how bad I would feel about being ostracized as ‘too strange to be real’. How would you handle this?

    Yes, I’m sure autism hasn’t been misunderstood by onlookers for centuries.

        Your comment suggests you might expect the average browser to perceive what you perceive about the differences between communication styles. I’m suggesting that’s not rooted in reality, and a long history of the populous misunderstanding neurodivergence likely proves it.

          ten dollar words doesn’t make your drivel true, doc

          I mean there really isn’t even any rationale to it, like at all.

            You’re rather insufferable. “Enjoy your block.”
