It’s Reddit, most of these accounts are bots or NPCs and the rest are just oblivious.

You're so deep in your own colon you lost the ability to smell your own farts at least 20 inches ago.

Most isn’t much better. You sound like a bot tbh

If I were a bot, I don’t think I’d be posting comments to receive downvotes. Bots usually want visibility, downvotes reduce visibility.

A bot would deny being a bot

How do you know what a bot would do?

Because I’m talking to one right now

I haven’t looked at this sub’s rules, but I know a lot of these woke subs have strict regulations against accusing someone of being a bot. I hope you don’t get reported!

I won’t report you, don’t worry. I don’t need The Man to police mean words for me.

The nonsense words betray that you’re a bot

I mean you basically just declared that you do lol. “You can’t call me a bot, it’s against the RULES 😭😭😭😭”

I didn’t declare that, I was trying to be helpful.

Right, because obviously it's that simple.

No.

EDIT: Russian bots, for example, are known for disseminating disinformation and generally trying to muddy dialogues and corrupt the facts. They'll often get downvoted. Doesn't mean they're not bots or trolls.

Oooooh, NPC! That's a creative insult that I have not seen repeatedly made on certain echo chamber subreddits. Did you come up with it yourself?

What’s an “echo chamber subreddit”?

r slash conspiracy would be a good example of one.

What qualities of that subreddit make it a good example of an “echo chamber subreddit”?

SweetHatDisc t1_j1n5aua wrote

The use of certain code words- such as "NPC"- amongst an "in" group, used to determine in spaces outside of the group who is and isn't members, and to discredit those who are not part of the "in" group. An "NPC" doesn't have real feelings or opinions, and so their thoughts can be disregarded or even mocked. Of course, your particular dialogue is inspired and witty, even if you're copying it off of the things you've heard elsewhere.

As much as you think you're trying to be witty with this tired "NPC" shit, you're just repeating the terms someone else came up to say words. Like an NPC.

Hmm… code words, you say? When you say “like an NPC,” at the end of this post, is that you using a code word to discredit me because I am not part of your “in” group? What about all these downvotes I’m receiving? Are those code downvotes to indicate that I am not a part of the “in” group?

SweetHatDisc t1_j1nl85t wrote

It's me using your own language to mock you. The downvotes- and this is just speculation on my behalf- are because you're being very obviously disingenuous with your arguments.

Elecrockcity t1_j1nn7cf wrote

Not disingenuous. Just because I don’t agree with you doesn’t mean I’m not honestly expressing myself.
