/r/programming came back up two days ago and as far as I can tell everything relating to the blackout was wiped. I kinda expected it since spez was admin.
Another thing that surprised me was how much chatGPT bot spam there is (danm it is so so bad, wonder what the mods are doing over there… ah yes, spez).
I used to sort by hot so it was hidden away a bit for me before.
Anyways I hope Lemmy does not fall into the same pitfalls!

We’ll have to prove we’re a human every time and log in every time we use a service to be sure it doesn’t have bots. But AI will get better and better at those too. Is captcha the next level above Go? Lol
