    if I assumed everyone was a bot, I wouldn’t be here talking. it would be a waste of my goddamn time. it would be boring

    if I assume that everyone with stupid political views was a bot, then I’d just be an idiot

      I’m glad I can use reasoning and deduction to actually figure things out or I would be equally stuck in a black-and-white false dichotomy.

      For example, I assumed you’re a bot immediately, then I made a small effort and checked for clues, and found the first mod action performed against you on lemmy was a comment removed for asking about microwaving your balls, which tells me you’re likely a human. But I also know in relatively short time even those clues will be meaningless as tactics get more and more sophisticated. It’s just like always being on guard when you go outside. You can be on guard for danger without always being anxious or paranoid.

      See? it’s not so hard.
