Yeah the comment looked like any other post that account made and as you said, LLM generated crap. Full of mid sentence emojis, hashtags, and structured like a summary.
I was going to let the comment pass thinking its probably from Mastodon or something because of the hashtags and style. But no, the user is from a lemmy instance.
No problem! I just got interested how the modlog actually looks like after seeing this comment chain and decided to finally check it out.
No idea whether that link is only showing the lemmy.ml admins actions on you or do the mod actions federate and show all the actions mods on any instance have taken on you though
I had a similar experience. Some niche local groups only exist on facebook and that's why I had an account that I never deletes since making it like 15 years ago.
My feed was filled with sketchy ads and recommendations so I didn't use it. Kept in contact with some old friends via messenger and only used groups pretty much.
That all changed few months ago when facebook locked my account for "suspicious activity" and showed me a prompt after logging in stating I need to upload a government issued ID to unlock my account. I checked and made sure this is actual facebook and not some fake site I accidentally would have somehow entered.
"Suspicious activity" was me logging via the web browser on my phone using another teleoperator while traveling.
When I returned from traveling I suddenly was able to unlock my account with just my email. Took the chance and deleted my account.
Facebooks groups are amazing, but yeah, the price is your privacy. And I don't mean just email and your personal preferences, shits wild what they know about you and what/how they gather information about you.
If you are interested in reading about it:
The book "The Four" from Scott Galloway. I personally didn't like the authors bias on the matter but he summarizes it pretty well how/what facebook knows about you.
Edit: why would people downvote OP's question? It's a good question imo.
I believe so aswell, but there is lemmy.ml for example, which apparently is meant to stand for "marxism-leninism" in that specific instance (.ml is Mali's country TLD).
I switched from controls engineering to information technology - in industrial automation interviews not once was I asked to prove my knowledge about PLCs or anything like that, they trusted my education and experience.
The interviews in information technology were like "make us a working app for free before we have a second round of interviews" even after few years of previous experience in their specific field and a repository to show off my free-time projects.
I switched because I got tired of traveling, but holy shit I miss the job market of industrial automation. I still feel like I got more respect working in automation field than I have ever gotten working as a software developer.
