How do we know that the people on reddit aren’t talking to bots? Now, or in the future? what about lemmy?

Even If I am on a human instance that checks every account on PII, what about those other instances? How do I know as a server admin that I can trust another instance?

I don’t talk about spam bots. Bots that resemble humans. Bots that use statistical information of real human beings on when and how often to post and comment (that is public knowledge on lemmy).

    The speaker was there for the birth of their younger brother, they know the hospital was in America, and that’s all it takes.

    Their older brother was already alive when they were born, so their brother, parents, and the government could be lying about older brother, which, by nessesity, means the parents aren’t American either.

    It’s implying that anything you didn’t witness personally you can’t be certain.

      Great explation. One exception:

      which, by nessesity, means the parents aren’t American either.

      As the speaker didn’t witness the birth of their own parents, the speaker simply does not know if they are Americans. It is not a joke about immigrants. As you correct state, lt is a joke about an unwillingness to believe what one did not personally witness.
